If you want to be innovative, you've got to come out of your silo.
It's important to be in regular dialogue with people who are not in your industry and to read in areas that are unrelated to your work. Picking up books on history, science and other large and small topics can get different areas of your brain going. This kind of information building allows you to develop "knowledge nodes" - synergistic conglomerations of data that can be unexpectedly combined to create great solutions. This is how Steve Jobs operated - his wide ranging interests allowed for a creative lifetime of connecting the dots.
