This website is intended to stimulate a discussion about creativity. Please post comments, questions, or interesting material in the “Thoughts” blog. I would be especially interested in answering questions about the nature of “common creativity“, and the ways creativity affects group dynamics and organizational functioning.
To discuss Consultation, Products, or Facilitation please email me directly at [email protected].
