In this episode of The Creative Life Podcast Dr. Janice tells us about Teamability® working on start ups, mid sized companies and getting into larger companies.  Dr. Janice also shares with us how Teamability® started some time ago when she was working in healthcare. "The best thing you can do is get the people who put the know in innovation, and there are plenty of them, out of the way." People are naturally creative when they're not told 'Don't do this.'."
