Most businesses operate as hierarchies with decisions being made top-down. This kills an organisation’s ability to sense change and respond to or shape it; to be creative - the very ability needed to identify and sustain competitive advantage. To put creativity at the heart of the organisation you must listen to and observe what happens at its edges and periphery.This is where small incremental creativity really wins. Where individuals can make their greatest creative contributions; not through big transformative ideas but rather small accumulations of small ideas over time.
