When this creativity is released and harnessed, it's a wonderful thing. Organizations can choose to blend the required tasks and activities of their business (this is what we do at company X in a world class way, with zero defects and with 100% customer satisfaction) with some amount of individual ideas, testing, experimentation, before it goes live. I like the idea of having some % of time set aside weekly for the creative process which then feeds a pipeline. That way every employee is involved, tapping into their creative potential, and still engaged in the day to day responsibilities of the business, while ideas are encouraged, provided for, and explored.
