Creativity in organizations

Bottom’s up innovation is best possible if there is an environment of freedom, where a lot of people believe and like to engage in the process of innovation. Once people start enjoying the process of thinking outwards, of thinking weird and of think beyond their constraints, that is when that collaborative innovation is best possible. Any creation, according to me, is an individualistic process. So for a team to be innovative, they need to function like our brain. We have different thoughts in our brain but in the end the brain is able to come to a outlook, confused or consistent, but an outlook, nonetheless. In team we have to function like that, believing that each member is part of the same whole (the brain), you agree, you disagree, but u cant run away, so in the end there has to be the final outlook which is the result of all the various directions that the individual members went into, and each thought needs to be see as a gust of wind that helped in reinforcing or hindering the direction of the outlook.

Start ups are the best place where people can be creative, because with less people to make decisions, there is a lot of freedom in terms of decision making.
