Can you innovate?

It's been a while since I have been claiming that I want to get into innovation. I don't have any concrete ideas but that just seems like what I want to do. Then again, I question myself as to why I don't do on a daily basis that which I would like to do forever. There is so much scope for innovation on a daily basis, it seems stupid to not gauge your suitability for it before deciding to take it up as a full-time option. A recent article by Scott Anthony in the Harvard Business Review Blog Network provided a refreshing definition of innovation, ""The Wall Street Journal article noted that Innosight founder Clayton Christensen favors three categories of innovation: efficiency (doing the same thing faster or cheaper), sustaining (making current solutions better), disruptive (transforming complicated solutions into simple, accessible, affordable ones)." Now, that leaves me with even lesser excuses to not do it on a daily basis.
