Think:Act Ideas for Action

Society and businesses value standards and efficiency at the expense of creativity and adaptability. While organizations are acutely aware of the relevance of creativity, they still struggle as they approach it as something special outside their core operations. It’s time to step back and take in the whole canvas. Embracing the arts is good news for businesses. It lets them draw inspiration and adopt various practical tools from artists in order to successfully chisel away at their creativity.

Adaptability is the primary challenge for businesses today. But first they have to shake a century-long habit of being overly procedural and focused on scaling efficiently.

 

While children naturally excel at experimenting and creating works of art, adults and business leaders in particular need to relearn how to be open to new ideas, zoom out for a more holistic view and freely recombine existing ideas. The arts have many lessons in store for them, from developing a creativity mindset to operational practices and tools.
