MGT 353 Mid-Term
An Evaluation of Understanding

Creative Profile
A Self-Evaluation of Your Creativity

The Creative Profile
• Update your creative profile based on what you
have learned from feedback on your first, and
what you have learned about yourself during our
class.
• Remember, the questions provide in the template
are to get you thinking in a direction, not for you to
answer specifically.

The Creative Profile
• Be sure to reflect on each section, look for
substantive answers, and provide depth in
your thinking.
• Make note of the changes you have made, if
any, to demonstrate your development.

Quiz: Sustaining the Change
Chapter 8 of Creativity, Inc.

Sustaining the Change
Chapter 8 of Creativity, Inc.

• As the change to systemic creativity goes
forward everything requires continued attention,
reinforcement, exercise, follow through and
reinvention.

• Creativity does not want to stop.
• Creatives will not want to stop.
• Forces against creativity are so strong that
without reinforcement and reinvention it will
stop.

• Because of “Motivation.”
• The measure of the emotional investment it
takes for people to break natural inertia, to
move away from their attachment to their
current circumstances and move towards what
they want.

• Systemic creativity is movement.
• The lack of movement is not progress, it is the
status quo.
• What will get in its way?

• Plan for the (inevitable) future.
• Remain flexible.
• All the “aha’s” are in the detours (pivot).
• Any plan for change will change.
• Curiosity will discover new information.
• Creativity will develop new ideas.

• “At some point systemic creativity really gets
traction and becomes embedded throughout a
company, evidence of the change–creative
activity, the actual creative changes–will come
fast and furious and all over the company, but
planning can become overloaded.”

• “It is difficult to get a man to understand
something when his salary depends upon his
not understanding it.”
• Change is a threat to to the order of things.
• Resistance is the indicator that something
needs addressed.

• Involving people in the process helps them
discover their creative potential.
• Reduces fear of the unknown.
• Increases potential for curiosity.
• Expect resistance, have a plan to address.
• Move on to the next resistance (given).

• Encourage the flow of information.
• Information makes a difference in any company.
• In a creative company, it becomes the daily fuel
that keeps the machine running.
• Supplement with human contact.

Quiz: “The Innovation Value Chain”
Harvard Business Review

“The Innovation Value Chain”
Harvard Business Review

The Innovation Value Chain
• All companies face obstacles
• Everyone knows best practices
• Why aren’t all companies better at
innovation?
• Intuit
• Procter & Gamble

• A company’s capacity to innovate is only as
good as the weakest link in its innovation
value chain.
• The idea poor company
• The conversion poor company
• The diffusion poor company

• Viewing innovation as an end-to-end process rather
than focusing on a part allows you to spot the
weakness and strongest links.
• Discourages managers from reflexively importing
innovation practices that address part of the chain but
not necessarily the ones the companies needs help
with.

• Centers attention on the weakest link, prompts to be
more selective on what will work to address the problem
area
• Helps managers realize a perceived innovation strength
may be a weakness.
• People often gravitate towards the easiest area, leaving
hardest for last or hoping it goes away.

The innovation value chain provides a
framework for managers to sort out which
approaches make the most sense for their
companies.
Allows you to spot the strongest and the
weakest link.
