Generating Great Ideas


Monday April 2

Ive been doing some research and wok on generating new ideas. One of these sources the Young Foundation has some great ideas on…generating great ideas. You can find them at www.youngfoundation.org. The piece I likes best was on How to Generate Great Ideas - Unleash the Creative of Agency Staff. Staff in government agencies has enormous potential to be creative, even if the prevailing culture doesn’t encourage it. Frontline workers in particular can have powerful insights on ways to improve the way things are done – but all too often agency leaders do not seek these insights, or if they do, little action follows. Finding ways to really listen to your staff, and encouraging them to generate ideas to improve the ways things are done, is an essential component of an innovation strategy. Here are some examples of organizations that have found ways to harness the talents of their staff.
