I am doing a Master 2 in Innovation and Valuation of Research at Paris Saclay University, France, and I must present the project for the creation of the National Innovation Agency of Cuba, as a final evaluation of one of the courses. Thank you very much
In my own work, which stems from the field of critical management studies and a philosophy of aesthetics, I invoke innovation (creativity), mimesis (vision) and certain craft skills as core elements in the development of any field (or, more strictly, the development of any field as an artform).
My PhD study revealed the great influence of a power dynamic in the creation of what I might call artistic progress. Ultimately, while vision and some level of skill may be seen to be required, unless there is a sanctioned space to play creatively, the development of new knowledge to realise new visions is unlikely to occur.
As a consequence, in respect to your question, I would say one of the key elements of 'efficient' (although I would prefer the word 'effective') innovation, is the key role of government and its agencies in the development of innovative knowledge and products. Their role is to provide that sanctioned space for other to play creatively. In this sanctioned space, people must be free of certain limitations and expectation (just as a child is free to play under the watchful eyes of its parent). Those free to play must be tolerant of risk (either consciously or subconsciously); those that sanction the space must be patient, must facilitate and must be tolerant of failure.
If we over-control the sanctioned space for play, we do not allow creativity full access to vision, and we may risk the sterility of designs that merely reflect only small variations on what has gone before.
Dear María Luisa Zamora
For there to be innovation there must be creativity, for there to be creativity there must be challenges, to overcome challenges there must be interest, for there to be interest there cannot be basic concerns (food, health, safety, a place to live).
Any country, company, or institution that wants to promote innovation must have people who feel motivated to innovate and know their contribution will be valued and supported.
Therefore, to create an innovation agency, in any country, the areas of health, nutrition, social security, education, housing, and infrastructure (to name a few of them) have to have done their part to have people ready and willing to dedicate time and effort to generate ideas that transform known elements and take them to their next level of evolution.
I hope this helps.
First have to take care of individuals by providing basic amenities for life,then it help us to think independently, that leads to good innovative ideas.
An individual must have a mindset to go out of his ways to do things others are not doing. Though environmental conditions have a great influence on person.
Thank you very much for yours valuable answers Mr. David, Mr. Félix Oscar, Mr. Viswa and Ms. Sayo.

Use 'formative teaching & learning' as THE model for pre-service and in-service development programmes. Focus on transformative teaching & learning through that formative model and its techniques of multimodalities and multiliteracies, differentiation and learner-centred developmental teaching relationships. Currently, 'transformative education' is just a phrase, while the global classroom model is 'data farming' . Professor Bill Boyle
Thank you very much professor Bill Boyle!
