To prevent the paradox of control and innovation, a simple structure for bringing employees into the fold of things is necessary. First innovation should not narrowly focus on developing product enhancement and service refinement ideas.
Rather everyone in the company should understand that they can be innovative in whatever they do. This means that even management can also be innovative.
It does not mean that only the PR departments needed to be able up with catchy slogans and beautiful expressions, a wonderful phrase can actually come from the shopfloor. Our mission is: “To get them out of prisons” Changi Prison.
Ideas can be gotten from many combination of resources, yet, it is not the end of the road; for the innovation requires the creation of additional value.
Is it possible that we can get into the knack of creativity! Can creativity be an integral part of all the things we do?? How can we be habitually innovative? If innovative ideas are the seeds from creative thinking, then what is the ‘flower bed’ for innovation grow? Real seeds need water or moisture (some a bit of fire to break their hard outer covering), so what about growing innovative ideas?
