Cultivating Innovation In The Nashville Workplace
An innovative environment is something that you want to cultivate in your organization. Innovation itself is defined as “an introduction of new things or methods,” so what’s not to like? New methods and ways of doing things can be vital in streamlining your processes, saving you time, money, and effort, while new ideas and concepts can turn out to be game-changing!
Let’s talk about a couple of ways that you can cultivate innovation in your Nashville workplace:
NO IDEA IS A BAD IDEA
One of the most innovative companies in history was founded on this very concept: The Walt Disney Company. When it was time to talk about a new movie or a new attraction for one theme park, Walt Disney would call all his creative division employees together and have a brainstorming session. The key: no idea was a bad idea. Any thought presented was accepted and considered, no matter how unusual it was. Disney himself said that some of their best ideas started with a wild and overly imaginative theory that sparked the flame of creativity in the team, resulting in resounding success.
ENCOURAGE COLLABORATION
Each team member has something to give, some insight gained from personal or business experience. A workplace environment that supports collaboration and acceptance of each member’s talents and giftings will be a place where innovation and creativity organically occur, increasing morale and productivity.
PROTECT SOLITUDE
During the creative process, it is essential to spend time in solitude to focus on the work at hand. Innovation often happens in those quiet moments free of distractions and interferences, so providing spaces that protect this environment is another way to cultivate innovation. Ergonomic furniture that supports comfort and health will be key in removing distractions and interference from disorganized or uncomfortable surroundings.
