💡 Everyone talks about creativity and innovation in the workplace—but is it truly encouraged?
In many companies, "innovation" is a core value, a KPI, or even a department.
But when employees actually try to think outside the box, they often face roadblocks: rigid processes, risk-averse leadership, or a lack of real ownership.
So, do companies really want innovation? Or is it just another corporate buzzword?
🔹 “We say we want innovation, but we don’t tolerate failure—how does that work?”
🔹 “Creativity thrives in a relaxed state… so why are employees overloaded with work?”
🔹 “If everyone is too busy following processes, where’s the room for thinking differently?”
In this episode of The Heart of the Equation, Sara Mobarhanfard and Anisa Zafar dive into the realities of workplace creativity, sharing insights from their own corporate experience and the professionals they work with.
