“Ideas in isolation are worthless; if they have no impact, then they have no impact, then they didn’t matter. Creation, innovation and entrepreneurship are not just about putting stuff out into the world – art and business alike are about doing things that make a difference.“
Bernadette Jiwa, Marketing: A Love Story, 2014:7
Innovation is a process that creates, develops and implements new products, processes, or services. Entrepreneurship is a process that acts on opportunities that can turn, innovations, inventions or technologies into successful products, services and solutions.
At one time, I did consider studying innovation and entrepreneurship as my only postgraduate pursuit. My feeling is that being able to create profitable opportunities out of new innovations is the only job security you can give yourself in the 21st-century.
Innovation and entrepreneurship are concerned with solving problems. While innovation and entrepreneurship ultimately did not end up being the only focuses of my postgraduate studies, they still form strong central focuses in my MTA Portfolio.
The process of building my MTA Portfolio, this website and my other final projects has been one lengthy process of innovation and entrepreneurship. This has been the point, I wanted to get into the habit of utilising innovation and entrepreneurship so that I would continue using them in my life and career beyond my MTA Portfolio.
The ability to produce solutions to your own problems is an invaluable and indomitable life skill to possess.
