How to Increase Creativity across a Traditional Thinking Organisation
December 1, 2008 by iainchalmers
Often organisations don’t understand what innovation is. Things like process improvements, cost cutting and change management do not seem very ‘innovative’ but actually are the changes that lead to innovation.
Simplifying a process can be as innovative as creating a whole new one so moving a traditional thinking organisation to an innovative thinking organisation is not as hard as it seems.
Educate, educate, educate. If you want to be seen as an innovative organisation first make sure staff understand:
1. The difference between Creativity & Innovation
2. That ideas aren’t left to the ‘creative people’. Anyone can learn to be creative.
3. That dedicated time for thinking needs to become a part of their daily, weekly or monthly routine.

In India,atleast,it is not just that a large number of bureaurocratic organizations do not know what is new about innovations but most of them prefer free tips only to know and not to put them to use.
