Promoting Creativity and Organization
Our September 14 program meeting, presented by member Andy Porter and Kimberly Lewis, his partner at Creative Consulting Associates, was on Creativity. Our ending question was "How can we make organizations more creative.
Some other questions which were put forth in our follow-up segment were as follows:
- What is the relationship between organizational culture and organization creativity?
- How can we find "leverage points" of creativity in organizations?
- What is the role of diversity in promoting organizational creativity?
- Is creativity different from innovation?

As to not punishing mistakes, I would cite Tom Peter's mantra "Celebrate Failure". Especially in his seminal work Thriving On Chaos, Peters gives many examples of organizations that have innovative and succesful cultures because mistakes are not punished but even encouraged.
Another good refernce would be Richard Farson and Robert Keyes article "The Failure Tolerant Leader" in the August 2002 Harvard Business Review. This links creativity/innovation to permitting mistakes.
