Q6: How can companies foster a culture of reimagination in order to help them grow and succeed?

Britta Meyer
A6: New is the new new. A relentless look at the existing with an intent to change and improve is essential for reimagination.

Be open to new ideas, silly ideas, bad ideas, great ideas, all ideas...

Britta Meyer
A6: Also, being fearless: When you ask for input, you shall receive it, and you won’t always like it. But don’t be scared – it will be worth it.

A6: @IBMSocialBiz Empower everybody within the organisation to continually ask the question why. To reimagine you can't assume you have to understand and to understand you have to ask why.

Encourage and foster "ownership" throughout the organization, while giving all employees the best tools to participate, contribute, and ultimately, innovate.

Amanda Tenedini
Less meetings and more problem/solution brainstorms. Time for collaboration and dreaming is key to growth. We all get too caught up in surviving each day instead of finding ways to make each day better.

I call it a "culture of participation" - it's about both the benefits to the company (innovation, speed, growth, efficiency) and also to the individual (career, personal satisfaction, job flow)

Raise the bar with each success and accomplishment. Continuously challenge the processes and the thinking.

Most of the time we do not have the best idea . But still say it! Embrace that, learn from it, and figure out which shy person in the room has the best idea. It might be you this time.

Give ppl choices on when, where and how they work. Provide the necessary tools to be successful. Then step aside and give them freedom to nurture their creative capabilities.

@CaseyCrl Sometimes if I wonder if we'd get farther if all the jazzed people worked together rather than scattered throughout.
