For innovation to flourish
Does being creative have a direct effect on the brain?
You may have heard of the workflow habit— people become entirely unconscious of self, lose track of time, and get absorbed in what they are doing. When people are in the flow state, they are meeting challenges as they create, and every time they're more successful, the reward center in the brain is activated, and they get a little burst of dopamine. Sometimes they're not even aware of being happy, but the reward center and the dopamine are influencing them and driving them forward in their behavior.
For innovation to flourish, organizations must create an environment that fosters creativity; bringing together multi-talented groups of people who work in close collaboration together— exchanging knowledge, ideas and shaping the direction of the future. Organizations led by creative leaders have a higher success rate in innovation, employee engagement, change, and renewal. --Linda Naiman, founder of Creativity at Work. "What if you could repair your body at the cellular level? Could food could be grown right in crowded cities where people live? How far can we extend the human life span?"
Innovation in Work: According to Shlain and my research on Creative Mind Expansion, we're in the process of building a Global Brain. One that will allow us to get a higher success rate by using increased ingenuity, learning through the internet, and working with multi-talented groups of people and technology working together from all over the World on a global basis.
