Being more innovative is one thing. Having time to do it is another. Most people like the idea of being more creative and organisations want to be more innovative – just as long as it doesn’t create extra workload.

Innovation is normally seen as an ‘initiative’ or ‘project’ rather than part of normal day to day business.

Just like Al Gore’s message in Inconvenient Truth, (that we can do little things every day at an individual, organisational, regional and government level, that will have a positive impact on the environment), spending some time every day on developing your creativity and putting in place systems and attitudes that support innovation will take you a few steps more to success – however you define it.
