OVERVIEW

Creativity is novelty that is useful. In a strict corporate environment where logic and rational thinking are pre-eminent, we need to switch to the "right" side of things and rapidly move ourselves from vertical thinking to a lateral thinking process. We need to walk out of the old paradigm of structure and fixed ideas, into a new and reliable paradigm of creativity that works.
