CiputraCopying is an innovative process if what we do is copying best practices, taking the tops of achievements and putting them together to be something better and more valuable according to the context of our own businessMeniru adalah proses inovatif jika yang kita lakukan adalah meniru praktek-praktek terbaik, mengambil puncak-puncak pencapaian itu dan meramunya menjadi sesuatu yang lebih baik dan lebih bernilai sesuai dengan konteks usaha kita sendiri

CREATIVITY and INNOVATION for ENTREPRENEUREntrepreneur who wants to develop his/her entrepreneurship has to rely not only on his/her left brain but also right brain to create new ideas as new products, new working methods, new services, new selling areaAn entrepreneur normally has more creativity and higher innovation power than non-entrepreneur. He/she has thought the things that have not been thought by and able to make his/her innovation to be societys demand

Innovation is required not only because there is idealistic urge but also to gain market shareIn tight competition, breakthrough is required, breakthrough that causes a product or service different from other onesOpinions:A company which is successful in gaining a competitive excellence has to maintain it as long as possible since it is a tool to face competitorsA company which has been successful to gain a competitive excellence has to leave it immediately and find another new excellence since competitors will not stay still and gradually copying it even better

In practice, many companies which have gained competitive excellence do not last since they are lulled by the gained excellence and do nothing to renew it while their competitors come up with similar new product or service but with modification which fits more the customers taste

"Creativity defines the starting point, the middle point and the end point of a venture. You have to be creative while identifying a business opportunity, while building your team, while streamlining your processes. In fact, you even have to be creative while shutting down your company. Creativity is essential for effective problem solving throughout the life cycle of a company."
