Try starting with an employee suggestion scheme. Implement the good ideas and reward the proponents. And then formalise the evaluation process so people know that ideas wont be ignored by prejudiced managers.

Just think of something that will be fun or useful and people will spent a lot of time on.\n\nThink of what new thing you would like to have.

when coming up with a business idea, remember that scalability is key.  the underlying business model should allow the potential for growth, whether it be that the core competencies of your company can readily be applied towards operations outside of the scope of your central business or whether you can easily expand geographically (through franchising or whatever)

Good question.\nFirst, you need to see how big your organization is. \nIf it is made of 10-50 people, you can (with the help of one or two people) manage to conduct a Employee Betterment program. Well, give it a good name first "Employees are the Best" or something like that which would make them think posiitively first.\n\nNext, the program can be about how to think in different situations. For this you this. Edward D Bono's SIX THINKING HATS. It is a helpful program.\nNext introduce weekly "Employee of the Week" or "Star Worker". \n\nNext the best think to make them relax is, treat them all to a good movie. Take them with the companies money so that they dont have to buy tickets or anything.

Well you have to think about it yourself. You can get ideas from the book, "How Things Work", which will help you with parts of an invention, but the actual thing is on you.

You can't possibly know everything there is to know about your job or the company you are working for.  So with that being the case, look for opportunities to learn something new about where you work.  Make it a daily goal to learn at least one thing new, no matter how small or inconsequential it may seem.  And in the process, perhaps you will discover a new opportunity for yourself.

Gotta book for you, call Rhinoceros Success.  After the question you asked, you will enjoy the read.  It cost about $10 and can be read in one sitting.  Face it people just don’t have the drive or desire to do more than the norm, and if you try to do something different, then you are weird in their eyes.  When you succeed, you are lucky or special.  Don’t let this get to you, just keep on doing what you are doing, and don’t for get to dream.  If you don’t dream, you don’t innovate.  If you do not innovate, then you cease being successful.

All small business initiatives require a lot of focus & hard work initially. I would recommend that you decide your focus/niche, and work paasinately towards its success.

Innovation is essential in every business to ensure competitive advantage over competitors. This edge will drive more customers to choose to buy your product.\n\nIn the hotel industry for example, you can strive to have a 'first movers advantage' by being the first to offer a special type of service or product.\n\nSome ideas: Food and beverage, design, facilities, amenities, and staffing(service, which is the most most important).\n\nAll these 'new' things will definitely score you some space in travel magazines (the media in general), boost your reputation, and even win you some awards.\n\nA business is always about money. And hotel is a major business. All the hype from the innovation (if proved positive) will definitely attract you throngs of customers (or lodgers). \n\nOf course accomodation in a hotel is always a personal thing. When you have experience, you can have your own preference. \n\nInnovation may convince your old customers to coming back. First time customers cannot make any judgements themselves, so they will come to your based on your reputation (awards etc)

Don't tell anyone what it is.  Make a prototype and approach a manufacturer directly.  You may have to find investors so that you can produce 10,000 or so to start out.  Then you'll need to invest in some advertising so that your product becomes known.

If you know enough about the inner workings of the organization, try developing a plan and steps of implimentation, understanding change is not going to happen overnight.  Don't go in to a meeting saying what's wrong, but with a plan to make things better.  If you don't know who all may be impacted by the change, because sometimes easier for you means more work for someone else, ask to learn more about the company and tell them your intentions.  Most companies that have situations that are "normal" don't always resist change but need to see a clear plan before taking a "leap of faith".  If you were looking for something more detailed I apologize, this is just a style of buiness that has worked at my organization.

Build it around a key goal - a company you want to open, question you want to answer, something you want to change in the world. Invent it if you have to, but make sure it is something you can be passionable about. Also make sure it is consistent with current fads in the field, and challenging yet realistic. \n\nThen, explain how your previous studies and work both drove you to this idea and helped you to come closer to realizing it. Finally, say how education at said school will further help realize it.\n\nMake a draft, spell check, show to as many university professors as you can, get feedback, revise, repeat 3 times.
