Abstract

Creative transformation is the term associated with the necessary change for the workplace to develop and support creative thinking, which leads to innovation. Managing the intricacies of any workplace is a delicate balance. The issue is keeping the workflow efficiently moving forward while simultaneously providing an environment that encourages creativity and innovation. Complacency and comfort with “tried and true” methods constitute a path of least resistance, which may partially explain why change in any environment is so difficult. Ultimately, it is time for a new era in the workplace- an era of creativity that will redefine how organizations function. Creativity is a bigger predictor of success in life and work than many other factors, even intelligence and can be learned and nurtured when supported in the workplace. Creativity is the new literacy and it is time for the workplace to reflect that.
