In the social media age of going viral and trending topics, staying relevant is often one of the greatest challenges company’s face today. However, it is not an impossible task. Business innovation is one way that companies can ensure their continued and long term success.

While innovation can sometimes seem like an impossible task, there are a number of ways in which businesses can help themselves stay ahead of the competition. These three business innovation strategies may seem simple, but they can help you change and improve your business model and operations.

Don’t reinvent the wheel
While innovation is important, it doesn’t always mean a ground breaking, or earth shattering, discovery. Instead, business innovation can be as simple as a shift in outlook or strategy. Too often, businesses invest time, energy, and resources into projects or research that never come to fruition, because they are trying too hard to come up with “innovative” ideas. Instead, work within your established principles, and core values, to find ways to adjust your perspective and keep moving forward.

Encourage collaboration
Companies like Google, Samsung, and Amazon are often considered the industry’s top innovators. However, it is not because they have more time or money; instead, they provide their employees with better platforms for brainstorming and sharing new ideas. By giving people room to cultivate, explore, and experiment with new ideas, their employees can work together to find creative solutions to pressing problems.

Listen to feedback
Oftentimes the most innovate ideas can come from vendors, employees, or customers. Because they regularly use and interact with your business or product, these people often have the best insight as to how to improvement it. Likewise, frontline employees are often the most equipped to tell you what is working, what isn’t, and what new trends can be expected in the future.
