Stress the importance of creativity
Ensure all your staff know that you want to hear their ideas. Unless they understand how innovating your business processes can keep your firm competitive, your efforts at encouraging creative thinking risk falling flat.
Make time for brainstorming
Allocate time for new ideas to emerge. For example, set aside time for brainstorming, hold regular group workshops and arrange team days out. A team involved in a brainstorming session is likely to be more effective than the sum of its parts. Individuals within the team can feed off each other – exploring, testing and refining ideas.
You should also give individuals the space to reflect privately on their work if you think they need it.
Actively solicit ideas
Place suggestion boxes around the workplace, appeal for new ideas to solve particular problems and, quite literally, keep your door open to new ideas.
Train staff in innovation techniques
Your staff may be able to bounce an idea around, but they may be unfamiliar with the skills involved in creative problem-solving. You may find training sessions in techniques such as brainstorming, lateral thinking and mind-mapping worthwhile.
Cross-fertilise
Broadening people's experiences can be a great way to spark ideas. Short-term job swaps and shadowing in-house can introduce a fresh perspective to roles. Encourage people to look at how other businesses do things, even those in other sectors, and consider how they can be adapted or improved.
