Regularly brainstorming new solutions and
promoting a culture of valuing creativity will
empower employees to come up with new
ways to solve the same sets of problems your
company has faced time and again.

In this light, it's easy to develop a sort of callousness to the concept
of creativity. You're not as likely to believe your vendors are actually
using creative solutions like they claim, or to think brightly painted

companies want to claim it. Indeed, every business should expect,

three primary reasons why this is so:

tail," around your products, your business or your industry. Creative
people are good at making connections and finding new uses, additions, and supplements to an existing product. In an economy that's
still not friendly to businesses who do one thing (and one thing
well), it is helpful to have a creative team to build a network around
your offering, or to enhance your customers' current experience with

a company whose services complement your own. It
