Assignment: Managing Creativity and Innovation in the Workplace
You are the top-level manager of an organization.
1. How could you encourage employees to feel safe to offer up creative ideas in your workplace, and in what ways can you have employees offer up their ideas?
(Hint: I am looking for something more than a suggestion box or email to the manager).
2. Should you encourage feedback from co-workers, open critique and functional conflict regarding creative suggestions? And in what setting or manner? How would you handle hurt feelings-? Discuss.
3. How could you re-arrange work space to make the environment more susceptible to creative interaction and to to promote and encourage creativity?
4. Explain why a diverse work group aids in the creative process. Provide (brief) statistics.
5. If you permit a work group to explore a creative idea, should you put a time limit on their efforts? Why or why not? (Hint: research this).
No summary/conclusion is needed. Each of the above will require some research and we have discussed very creative and innovative companies this semester. They would be a good source for ideas.
