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.
