Creativity and Innovation
"The single most important leadership competency for orgainization is Creativity" Samuel J. Palmisano IBM CEO at the 2010 presentation of "Capitalizing on Complexity" report which was based on interviews of 1,554 CEOs and business leaders in 60 countries and 33 industries.
What would it be worth for your company to have one or two big successful innovations and dozens of minor innovations every year?
"Few orgainizations plan and implement a system for creativity and innovation and most adults (unlike children) think that they are not creative and that creativity is a born trait just like having blue eyes. In fact everyone can be creative and an organization should have the culture and system for everyone to contribute to creativity and innovation." Sir Ken Robinson in his book "Out of Our Minds"
Although individuals can be creative the most productive source of creativity and innovation is group collaboration.
