Before the European invasion, the only use the people of the Americas had for wheels, was for pull-along toys.   They used headstraps and pack-animals for carrying things, and made their clay pots by hand-building.   Messages were carried by runners.

Perhaps because there were no suitable native draught animals, or because the terrain was too difficult, the possibilities of the wheel were seen, but never applied, except in play.    Until of course, the Spanish introduced horses and cattle.

We tend to think of innovation as the creation of new things by a single individual.   Actually, much innovation arises from joining the dots.   And that only happens once the dots are in place.

Where are the dots being created in your industry?   Could you join them to create something new?
