The most important aspect, I would urge, is creating the momemtum of continously using our creative mind,in fact it well be,simply put: using our thinking differently.Reflecting on what one has done before and thinking how one can do the same stuff better the next time and try it out. Nurturing "the spirit of innovation" simply could be doing tomorrow better, more cleverly what I have done today as opposed to the doing the same stuff every day in complacency.If this habit has become an unconscious competence at micro level, then miracles are likely to occur at the macro level. Innovation then is to be used at all levels and to be pervasive, to create the desired culture of innovation. Innovation could indeed mend big leaks and deficiencies of the economy of the country….

Innovation is what separates the strong from the weak in developed economies. However, with something that echoes Maslow's hierarchy of needs(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs), we need to fix the plumbing in Mauritius before bringing in swimming pools. Innovation might find a roadblock in Mauritius, because first, people need to think! I know some areas of the Mauritian economy is more mature than others... where do you think could that creativity be applied? It is very true.
