From surviving to thriving

“Someone recently asked me to define creativity and explain its connection to productivity. In a world where everyone claims to have an innovative system, process or approach to create efficiencies; it seemed fruitless to take this same generic narrative. So instead, I posed a question back – what does diversification mean to you? And he explained that to diversify means to grow, to expand in a different direction. I liked that and it joined up our mutual belief in the power of doing things differently to achieve different results. And so, I came full circle to my alignment of creativity and productivity – forming a more cohesive approach to motivate teams to think and do things differently, to enable growth through progressive change and agile transformation.”

Drew Rowlands, deputy chief executive at IVE
