An innovation can be a product, service or process. It is an outcome, something with a high degree of change. Webster's defines innovation as "the introduction of something new." There are different types of innovation such as radical, breakthrough, or disruptive innovation.

Peter Drucker (Innovation and Entrepreneurship, 1993) said that "Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship...the act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth."

Digital Intent notably productive at this (https://digintent.com/what-is-innovation/) defines innovation as "...the process of creating value by applying novel solutions to meaningful problems."

Residents, businesses, and stakeholders in The Park build innovation into our DNA. It is one of the values that define us here. Innovation means Normandy Parkers are more effective and efficient; improving, inventing, and simplifying. We are reimagining home as a creative space for adding personal income while innovating in a post-COVID-19 environment. We are innovating in response to new needs of customers, whether home-based or scaling into retail space. We have figured out how to do things in a new way.

So which are you? Come find out, and mingle with other innovation entrepreneurs at the next Normandy Park Economic Development Implementation mixer from 4-6 p.m. on January 25, 2023 at Bistro Baffi in Normandy Park Towne Center. But mostly, come to chat and celebrate with your fellow Normandy Park businesses!

Our Land Acknowledgment:

As we gather, we respectfully acknowledge that our event is taking place on occupied Coast Salish land and that Seattle Southside Chamber is on the homelands of the Duwamish people. We pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous people.

Why do we recognize the land?

To recognize the land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory you reside on and a way of honoring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial. It is important to understand the long-standing history that has brought you to reside on the land and to seek to understand your place within that history. Land acknowledgments do not exist in a past tense or historical context: colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to build the mindfulness of our present participation. It is also worth noting that acknowledging the land is Indigenous protocol.
