Creativity and Innovation -
What helps creativity?
- 20% time projects
- do something for company that you think is cool, interesting
- trying to keep 3 person project groups
What hinders it?
- insular culture
- not too bad, but having all meals at at company, while nice, keeps everyone in the same environment and encourages us to very much share a daily routine. lose variance.
- diversity (or lack thereof)
- they're trying, but not for reasons of creativity
- women tend to run in packs for some reason
