Great ideas don’t just happen. Like a prized exotic plant, great ideas flourish when they are nurtured by two factors: culture and process.

Comedian and workplace innovation speaker John Sweeney says that it is rare for people to consistently come up with great ideas. After all, even the most talented and creative souls among us get depleted from time to time. However, by developing a secure culture and a dynamic process to filter and polish raw ideas, innovations are sure to surface.

Key Points from this Video:

• Culture and process affect how innovative a person can be
• Culture refers to the environment from where we innovate (I.e. workplace)
• The culture must make a person feel safe
• Process is the procedure of taking raw ideas and refining them into polished end products
