Innovators will usually have four main goals:

• Developing or creating new applications, relationships, systems, or products.
• Providing creative ideas or artistic contributions.
• Keeping up-to-date technically and applying new knowledge to your job.
• Benchmarking, experimenting and testing novel approaches to solving problems.

Inspectors should be great at:

• Estimating sizes, distances, and quantities; or determining time, costs, resources, or materials needed to perform a work activity.
• Observing, receiving, and otherwise obtaining information from all relevant sources.
• Identifying information by categorizing, estimating, recognizing differences or similarities, and detecting changes in circumstances or events.
• Inspecting equipment, structures, or materials to identify the cause of errors or other problems or defects.

• Writing and editing news stories from information collected by reporters and other sources.
• Researching production topics using the internet, video archives, and other informational sources.
• Coordinating the activities of writers, directors, managers, and other personnel throughout the production procedures.
• Monitoring postproduction processes for ensuring accurate completion of details.
• Performing management activities, such as budgeting, scheduling, planning, and marketing.
• Determining production size, content, and budget, establishing details such as production schedules and management policies.
• Composing and editing scripts or providing screenwriters with story outlines from which scripts can be written.
• Conducting meetings with staff for discussing production progress and for ensuring production objectives are attained.
• Resolving any personnel issues arising during the production processes by acting as liaisons between dissenting parties when necessary.
