TIP OF THE DAY: CREATIVITY, INNOVATION AND HIERARCHIES
Convention has it that hierarchies hinder creativity and innovation. But why?
Also, organizational structure is resultant of many factors (logistics, history etc...) and not easy to change, so what do we do if we have a hierarchical organizational structure and want to increase creative output?
Well, hierarchies tend not to foster creativity because of factors such as multiple layers to decision makers, slow feedback systems and decision makers' lack of intimacy with local problems due to distortion of filtered information.
So one way to counter the above is to enable teams with direct links to decision makers. This simple step speeds up decision making, improves feedback systems and decision makers' familiarity with local issues.
