Creativity is not a mystery
There is a lot of good research evidence about how to encourage creativity in the workplace and support innovation.
The chances are that the people who would find the solutions you need are already working for you, just in the wrong place or working in the wrong way.
Identify the mission, then identify the right creative people and experts, inspire them and resource their work, then test and implement their ideas…
The right people in the right team can produce radical results, and change the way you do business.
Don't let your good ideas get held down
Remove the ceiling
