The astounding thing for me about corporate creativity is that most everyone seems to have at least a handful of great ideas for new products or for better ways to organize their workplace, and yet so little of this potential innovation is realized. My feeling is that there's just something about our present-day structures of capitalism that badly misallocates capital in such a way that most good new ideas don't get implemented. And from what I hear from friends, the 1/100 stat could be accurate. Imagine if people were even actually inspired enough by their jobs to go on brainstorming sessions. There would be 10 times more ideas. So, I am not as complacent as Ms. Kellaway on the topic of corporate creativity. i disagree strongly with Lucy Kellaway.
