Innovation in organisations is about the creation of knowledge and innovative practices. When knowledge is defined as being both tacit, implicit and explicit, objectified and embedded within regimes of competence, knowledge is seen to be created through the innovative practice inherent in combination and exchange. This innovative practice is shaped by the cognition and techne of the individual, it is shaped and formed in communities of practice, where people engage in combination and exchange in their collaborative practice, by engaging in collaboration, narration and social constructivism. 

Both among members within communities and among communities within organisations, a certain degree of tension should exist for innovative practice to take place. Such tension is created by the existence of diversity, both within and among communities – which is why we should now pursue an understanding of the concept of diversity.

But innovation as it is worked with in the Innoversity concept, is all about turning upportunities into products, services and or practices, it is about being able to work and perform in an innovative manner, it is about reaching for the stars.
