How does one infuse creativity into the workplace?
With companies trying to "brand" themselves and employees often having little say about what goes on at headquarters, how does one infuse creativity into the workplace?
Do we "break the employers rules"? (and pay the consequences)
Should sections of businesses leave a small portion of their business open for creative experiment?
Are the creative choices and experimenting with new ideas worth the risk?
Are there employers that you know that leave room for creativity and personal exploration? ie: google

creativity is required when employees/company become satisfied with what its doing and the way it is doing
completely satisfied that what it is doing is perfect and nothing more can be added/done
that's the start of the end of the organization...only species that survive over time are those that respond to change more quickly.
Something we can do is to expose employees to creative environments/literature..e.g. Fortune magazine is good source...it always inspires to do more and keep thinking for progress
encouraging employees to use twitter to follow relevant industries.
one quotation of the day from HR..encouraging employees to think differently.
we should also keep hiring employees from competition/better resource...new entries also challenge old thinking pattern and help break the trends.
innovation clubs...innovation meetings challenging old rituals having employees from all departments.

As for the "hire the competition" now there are contracts about none-compete (ridiculous in my books). They should be "I don't want to be creative" clauses!
