Innovation is change, and change is the opposite of stability.

Innovation can reduce pain though, if the current pain is strong enough. A stable stream of failures in production can be the kind of "stability" you want to disrupt.

Being able navigate change can provide stability in the long term though, at least as opposed to being resistant to change.

What are we talking about? Philosophically yes. Factually, no. In the context of a system innovation could be switching from one form that renders in 1 second to another that renders in 50ms. Stability isn't part of that equation.
