Episode Description from the Publisher

Creativity isn’t what you make. It’s how you think. And organizations that treat it as a department — rather than a discipline —are leaving serious competitive advantage on the table. In this episode, we challenge one of business’ most frustrating and persistent myths: that creativity belongs to a certain type of person in a certain type of role. We make the case that creativity is not an output but a behavior: a way of thinking, questioning and problem-solving that drives measurable impact. We explore how creative thinking has been systematically stripped from our institutions and culture, and what that’s costing organizations today. For PR, communications, marketing and advertising leaders, the conversation focuses on what it actually takes to build a genuinely creative culture — from a foundational philosophy of why you exist, who you hire and why the agencies that will win the next decade are the ones brave enough to stop selling work and start selling thinking.
