New Concepts in Innovation

I was reading around some Google results about how innovation breds success. Looking at the Business Council of Australia's site, and an article which specifically highlighted the need to develop creativity, cultural understanding and teamwork as the fundamental building blocks to success.

Their report says, under the heading "ADVOCATE THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING SYSTEMS IN DELIVERING THE CAPABILITIES FOR INNOVATION SUCCESS.....that.......The development within the workforce of not only strong technical and applied capabilities but also the skills and capabilities associated with communication, teamwork, problem solving, ongoing learning, creativity, cultural understanding, entrepreneurship and leadership are vital building blocks for business innovation success." (The full report is available as a PDF from their website)

This really highlights the need for all businesses to utilise The Arts as a key cornerstone to sustained and sustainable growth. The Arts offer a pathway to more deeply exploring the impacts and positive repercussions of corporate social responsibility, among other key elements in the dynamic between businesses, consumers, resource providers and Government.
