Novelty may arise in various ways, but holistic innovation that synergizes novelties and focused innovations should not be divisible – ‘good in parts’ is no good at all.     Functional creativity is focused on how to do things differently or significantly better, work smarter, solve technology- or process-related problems and create technological and process innovations. Cross-functional creativity focused on inventing innovative cross-functional synergies. Holistic creativity is the fundamental driving force of systemic innovation, harmonious innovation, growth hacking, and harmonious growth.   Systemic Innovation Shift from Linear to Systemic Innovation Synergy Innovation Systematic Approach to Innovation Head of Growth T-shaped HoG   Learn   Head of Growth   Teach
