Innovation and improvement are common terms for strategies that add value to a business by changing things to make them better. The difference between the two terms is a question of scale.Improvements can be very small changes that add value. Innovations are changes that are at least an order of magnitude better than the existing state of the art.
In most cases, the goal of improvement is to make small changes rapidly that add significant value over time. The goal of innovation is to take massive leaps forward.It can't be said that improvement and innovation are mutually exclusive as innovation processes typically involve cycles of rapid improvement and testing. It should also be noted that innovation can result from a seemingly minor improvement in an existing product, service or process that boosts its value by an order of magnitude.
