Creativity Inc.: Building an Inventive Organization

RADICAL innovations always start with creativity--but many companies are allowing this critical wellspring to run dry. Jeff Mauzy and Richard Harriman argue that sustained leadership depends on making creativity a broad, enterprise-wide capability that is "on" all the time. In Creativity, Inc., they marshal forty years of research into how creative ideas happen and how they become innovations to reveal a set of fundamental principles for infusing creativity into every aspect of an organization. Through vivid examples from a wide range of industries, this book shows how companies can rework organizational climate, creative thinking, and actions to foster systemic creativity in individuals, in teams, and at the corporate level.
