Problem: Develop Your Career Potential
Spark Your Own Creativity Creativity is a vital part of every organization-and not just the whiz-bang, multimillion-dollar type of creativity.102 Even banal tasks can benefit from a new approach: An office assistant may think creatively about how to manage the company's fi ling system or figure out a simple way to keep track of who is in and out of the office. A Chicago company called Inventables has developed innovation kits-boxes containing disparate items to spark creativity-which it sells to clients like Procter & Gamble and Motorola four times a year. The idea is that designers and engineers will be inspired by tinkering with the contents of the kits. You don't need Inventables to become inspired, however. Nor do you have to wait for your company to develop a creative work environment before you can become creative. You can spark your own creativity and think "outside the box" on your own. Eureka! Ranch, a Cincinnati-based innovation consultancy company, uses toys to help adults remember how to be imaginative, and its long client list of Fortune 500 companies is a testament to founder Doug Hall's methods. Another company, Mindware, specializes in educational activities and toys that can help adults regain access to their imaginations. Just looking through its catalog of erector sets, science sets, puzzle books, strategy games, and tangrams may be enough to get your juices flowing.
