"Creativity and innovation are often used interchangeably, but they actually refer to two different things. Creativity is the ability to come up with new and original ideas, while innovation is the implementation of those ideas. Innovation requires creativity, but it also involves planning, execution, and commercialisation. In other words, innovation is the process of taking a creative idea and turning it into something that has real-world value. So, creativity is 'thinking' or 'input' and innovation is 'doing' or 'output'. Creativity = idea; innovation = product. For example, the idea of making a fridge is creativity and the created fridge is innovation."
