Rock Out New Ideas Quickly
My first job after university was with a creativity company. It was a pretty fantastic. I could (and did) show up wearing multiple earrings, long hair and trousers made of purple and red paisley. Now the company is the biggest independent innovation agency out there, but back then it was just me, the two founders and a couple of other people.
Companies called us in because their people got stuck. They needed to ramp up their employees’ creativity so that they could generate new ideas.
We’re all way more capable of generating new ideas and creating new possibilities than we give ourselves credit for. But we’re out of practice and we could do with a little help. It doesn’t take much. A little structure and a solid dash of provocation helps get the ideas flowing fast.
To help you do your Great Work, I’m inviting you to download my ebook Be Creative.
And, by the way, if you haven’t already, you can get my Do More Great Work audiobook here. It’s free with a 30-day trial of Audible. Or, if you’re the tactile type, you can get the paperback version here.
The companion to Be Creative is Be Courageous, and it may be downloaded over at my new website, MichaelBungayStanier.com.
