Make the most of the creativity already within your business...
Every idea is valuable!
Creativity isn't elitist, it is about sharing ideas, building knowledge, serendipity and opportunities.
How many great ideas are missed in your business, and how many consultants do you pay to do what you could do better yourself?
The opportunity to contribute ideas increases engagement with the business
Puts more 'stake' into being an internal stakeholder
Builds a sense of 'we' and breaks down cultural hierarchies
Positions the business as future orientated
Creates a sense of 'fighting back' in a recession
Opportunity to do and experience something different
Everyone has ideas, catching them is the trick!
Getting the best out of your people means:-
Building confidence in their ability to contribute
Creating an environment that welcomes participation
Employing an approach that directs creative energy into customer-focused solutions
Building momentum by following through and communicating progress
Recognising participation and celebrating achievement

A creative approach to addressing  performance 
Use creative forums to address the silo and inter-depatmental communication issues that damage internal and external reputation
Forums are positive and stimulating environments
Solutions are customer-focused rather inward looking
Opportunity to explore departmental purpose and discover new sides to each other
Creative process encourages communication and highlights the rewards of sharing and co-operation
