The Creativity Advantage: Is your organisation leader of the pack?
Success in product and service innovation depends on creativity as a key input. Without a healthy and continuing supply of ideas, most organizations would cease to exist. Peter Cook, author of the Best Practice Creativity explains to Abeceder that the fundamental challenge facing leaders in the twenty-first century is how to profit from individual potential and leverage it so that it produces organizational innovation and excellence.
This article takes a strategic view of creativity as a key element of competitive advantage. It outlines the conditions for creativity to flourish and is supported through the use of a number of case studies.
Creativity is not predominantly something that can be ‘forced’ through creativity ‘techniques.’ It depends crucially on the setting of an appropriate context for ideas to emerge and their subsequent mobilisation into innovative products and services. When the context is right techniques can play their part in raising the level and type of creativity within organizations.
Having the confidence to apply
Lack of confidence is often all that stands between a competent professional and the world of management. Abeceder associate Cheryl Donnison explains how coaching can help to build confidence.

How effectively do you communicate with your employees?
On 6 April 2005, the Information and Consultation regulations were introduced for those businesses that employ 150 or more people. Smaller businesses have longer to get their house in order; but regardless of the pressure for change from legislation there are, says Abeceder associate Linda Ryan, still clear business benefits to be gained from being a good communicator. This article is not another guide to the Information and Consultation of Employees Regulations, but rather highlights some aspects worthy of more thought.
