Definition: Experimenting with new ideas and approaches, rather than sticking to the status quo or following the rules blindly. An experience level professional who has this skill can demonstrate
initiative, proactivity, and ownership of their work.
Example: Emily, a software engineer, took the initiative to research,
design and implement solutions to the problems she encountered. She
communicated her progress and results to the relevant stakeholders without
waiting for instructions or feedback from her manager or peers.
