My research found that, whilst separate, Innovation can not exist in the absence of Creativity. In a slight change to the blog list which I posted earlier this week, I shall be looking into the above later this afternoon.<BR/><BR/>To give you a quick overview, organisational innovation requires individual creativity to function. Failure to create and foster a culture which if conducive to organisational innovation will essentially erode any opportunity for the organisation to innovate, essentially causing it to stagnate.<BR/><BR/>TLRThe Lovable Rogue also known as Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10660157291722137172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285812003538838741.post-22598460406241488892008-12-16T09:08:00.000Z2008-12-16T09:08:00.000ZIt's interesting to think that creativity and innovation can be two separate entities. I would be more of the view that the two are more closely linked than often given credit for.<BR/><BR/>The great creators usually lead the way in innovation; and without that innovation; creativity is often stifled.<BR/><BR/>I guess the same principle could be lent to thought leaders and thought creators - leaders offer the encouragement to move forward, yet who instills these thoughts into the leaders? Is it something they've seen or heard elsewhere and stored subconsciously? If so, does that make the initial thought creator more of a leader?<BR/><BR/>I think there's a lot of synergy that isn't being recognised and it'll be interesting to see how both sides of any given argument come together.Danny Brownhttp://dannybrown.menoreply@blogger.com
