Can a workplace survive the ultimate creative test that is the collaborative production of a large scale piece of art?
With huge shifts towards the smart economy, working lives in the modern world are changing dramatically. Many organisations now promote themselves as “a hotbed of creativity” but behind all the management jargon, how is creativity really regarded in workplaces today? In a game of art, what type of organisation will emerge as a nation’s most creative and what type of working culture helps create a great piece of art?
