More and more, today’s competitive climate requires organizations to institutionalize the process of innovation – to plant the seeds of creativity that could utterly transform a business. Creativity necessarily involves the destruction of old – and sometimes comfortable and perfectly good – ways of doing business. But for companies willing to take the risk – and for leaders committed to building innovative cultures – the first requirement is to understand the creative process, and the second is to commit to policies that support the creative process.
