Opportunity Out of Failure and Conflict

Issue 16

Creativity and innovation are, we are repeatedly told, the key skills required to take an organization forward and sustain it in these hyper-competitive times. This is all well and good, but it does not tells us where the creativity needs to be applied or what instigates it. Orit Wolf in her article explores where her creativity emerges from as an international concert pianist – and innovation consultant. While Charlie Irvine and Graeme Rainbird explore the opportunity brought by conflict, if it is well managed.
