034 - Creativity & Innovation - Gaia Grant

Innovation. It rates pretty highly as a business buzzword of our time. So I wanted to dig into it. To find out what it means for organisations. For individuals. And in the context of the modern commercial environment. My guest in this episode is Gaia Grant who - along with her husband Andrew - published 'Who Killed Creativity' in 2011 and this month will release 'The Innovation Race'. I hit Gaia with all the big questions - Who killed creativity? Is it even dead? What’s the link between creativity and innovation? Is innovation a race - and if it is, who’s winning? And most importantly, what can leaders in organisations do to ensure they are giving themselves the best possible chance to create an environment that supports purposeful innovation? Not only does Gaia provide some impressive responses to these questions, she provides a tangible framework to help you assess, develop and monitor the critical innovation enablers amongst your people and your organisation.
