The Geography of Ideas

or…some very simple techniques to make

your teams more creative

Why Geography?

A definition of Geography is –

‘ the nature and relative arrangement of people and places’

In a business sense, The Geography of Ideas (or Creative Geography) relates to how individuals physically arrange themselves and how they interact in order to be as productive as possible

So…..this is not so much about environment

And more about people….

Why is Creative Geography so important?

Because - by getting the ‘Creative Geography'right, you can simply energise the creative

outputs of your team and in your organisation

A misconception about Creative Thinking

It is Difficult

Some Theories of Creative Thinking are complicated

The Simple Truth is…..

‘There is a Conspiracy around Creativity’

What Creative ‘used’ to mean….

But this ignores the power of Conceptual Creativity

And the pluralist energy of Creative Democracy

It is not hard for her

So if it still appears difficult…

Creative Geography -

The Basic Premise

Is that the best ideas do not come from individuals, but live in the spaces between us

Creative Geography -

• One person can have a great idea and so can someone sitting next to them

• We can be creative on our own, but we can be much more creative with others

• The easiest way to boost creative outputs, is to energise the creative spaces between people
