“If we know that creativity takes diversity, creative abrasion, agility and intrinsic motivation, then what does this tell us about how our businesses can be more innovative? How can leaders ensure that these ingredients, in the right combinations, get put into their teams?”

The key points that have emerged include:

• Encourage idea generation and simplify approvals
• Create a non threatening environment where the team can work without fear
• Recognise innovators to create a self sustaining creative workplace

How would you make these ideas more actionable.

Are these points sufficient for fostering a creative environment? If not, tell us more
