Provide
opportunities to be creative
- Creativity is
like finding that elusive piece in a jigsaw puzzle.
- To find the
missing piece you first need to see how the other pieces fit together.
- In an R&D
lab or software house all the pieces may be hidden within the lab itself.
- In broader business
contexts, the pieces are scattered over several markets.
- The opportunity
to be creative depends on insight into a wide range of trends.
- Increasing complexity
will make this insight harder to come by in any one person.
- Expose employees
to as wide a range of contexts as possible.
- Consider employee
exchanges and secondments with complementary industries/customers.
- Mix together
a wider range of perspectives, especially more outsiders.
- Develop managers
to be opportunity generators - to be better at stirring the pot.
