Do you know that some of our most creative ideas are done in free time?
Research has shown that our brains need downtime in order to stimulate imagination innovation.
At that moment, there is even a term in our brain that inspires creative insight inward ---
It is called the "blink of an eye" of the brain ".
"But how can our brains find the blink of an eye when we are ruled by the tyranny we have ever had, let alone rest --expanding to-do list?
I think a good way to create value
By fostering a creative culture that drives the workplace, you and your organization are more "value-oriented ".
Just add a Ping-
The table tennis table in the lounge is not enough to stimulate innovation.
Workplace benefits such as nap rooms and cafes
On-site massage may be good-to-
But they are not the only way to create a workplace culture that encourages this personal and strategic risk --
Give full play to creativity.
In State Street, we do our best to create a culture that encourages creativity so that employees can feel that their ideas are valued, that their minds are focused and that their minds are respected.
There are five ways to solve this problem here. 1.
To encourage individualism and teamwork.
It may be true that there is no "I" in the "team", but there is a "M" and an "E"
"Don't let your staff check their personality at the door of the office.
Each team is made up of individuals with different ideas and different problem solving methods.
I 've always encouraged bringing your whole self to work, and no one has expressed better than my brave colleague Morgan Bailey in her TED @ State Street talk, "the danger of hiding who you are
"In her TEDTalk, more than 1 person has already watched it.
8 million time, Morgana shared that once you start to hide a part of yourself, it's getting harder and harder to say what you really are.
When Morgana was finally able to tell the truth, she lifted the veil of isolation and her fear of living in and out of the workplace for many years.
Bringing your whole self to work can inspire creativity and non-creativity
As Morgana realizes, integration has the potential to help shape social policies across the world. 2.
Don't underestimate the power of whiteboards.
Skimm, a new source of news, recently posted photos of their office's new whiteboard Wall on Twitter.
They tweeted "no furniture? No problem.
Because we have one. . .
The "whiteboard wall" shows the infinite potential of blank space.
Combine the whiteboard with the workspace of inspired colleagues and you lay the foundation for the next good idea. 3. "Yes, and. . . " -
A lesson from the recent impromptu performance, two behindthe-
Scene giants from the second city of Chicago share their insights on how to use the power of improvisation to develop and promote innovation ---
Even in business
Their book, yes, and: how improvisation can reverse the "No, but" thinking, improve creativity and collaboration, illustrates the transformative power of the first rule of improvisation ---
Use additional feedback ("Yes, and. . . ")
Instead of negative feedback (
"No" or "no",. . . ").
Improvisation refers to the power and energy released on the basis of other people's ideas ---
Like every great business should be.
No wonder business schools such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sloan have added impromptu performance courses to their courses. 4.
Go out to play.
Yes, it's still important to relax and play as an adult.
When you are on an office karaoke night or laser tag outing, these activities are important for getting to know your colleagues
Workers regard them as human beings. -
Maybe even friends.
Leisure time will also activate the so-called "default mode network" in your brain, sending a signal to your brain that allows you to look at the problem in a new way.
In short, it can activate the "brain blink" for you ".
The novelty of trying new things can reshape the way you solve your problems and help you deal with things in new ways. 5.
Diversify your team
Different groups produce better solutions, as well as a wide range of perspectives, insights, and ways of learning to accelerate problem solvingsolving.
There is also a term for this ---
According to the Medici effect, different teams are more likely to generate breakthrough ideas because of different ways of dealing with problems.
We want the best ideas, not just the ideas of a certain group, so that everyone has the ability to generate ideas and innovations that are critical to our success.
Although there is no way to create an ideal innovation environment, we can all take proactive measures to ensure that creativity is welcome and personal risks --
In our staff and throughout the workplace, acceptance is encouraged and creativity is valued.
