Discussion: The Creative Organization and Creative Approaches to Problem Solving
If you were to imagine a workplace where everyone was creative and innovation thrived, what would it look like? How would a day in the office be different from a day in any other type of office? What kind of colleagues would you work with? You might imagine colorful or eclectic decorations, or maybe the freedom to schedule your days and tasks as you wish. While these descriptions are often found in creative workplaces, organizations that truly support innovation have an even deeper focus on supporting creativity.
In the article "How Pixar Fosters Collective Creativity," Ed Catmull, the company's president and cofounder, describes the organizational elements that support the company's creative environment. For this Discussion, you will examine how and why you might implement these elements to your workplace.
For this post, first read the article by Ed Catmull (2008) Consider three organizational principles at Pixar that support a workplace environment where employees can implement creative solutions to problems. Then, choose one of these principles or another principle that you are familiar with that could be implemented at your organization or an organization you have worked for in the past.
Post by Day 3, post the following:
A description of three organizational principles at Pixar that support a workplace environment where employees can implement creative solutions to problems.

Explain why it would be beneficial to implement this principle at the organization you selected.
Explain how you as a manager might implement this principle and how you would need to tailor it for the organization you selected. Support your conclusions with references from this week's Resources
