Check this out! Challanges, that have been done!

I found this really amazing!

During thinking over the topic "How would I improve the creativity of a workgroup" I got to the page of Entrepreneurship Week at Stanford
(http://eweek.stanford.edu/2008/).

The main aim of the project is
- To create the value from some object from our everyday life.

That's definetely a great idea, and the most important thing, that it works!!
And we can see the results of things DONE.
It's a great example of "Thinking Outside the Box".

2007. Eweek at Stanford.
Challenge: to create as much value as possible using Post it!

Here is a really interesting film about all the process: http://www.iloop.tv/imagineit/

I really loved the idea, expressed in video "1.03 Teach it?". (I strongly recommend to watch it, at least, because we are all future/present parents :) )
The guys just gave the kids opportunity to think and improve their creativity, sharing ideas
and team playing skills!

There are also videos about Pressure, Connectivity ("Express who you are, and make the community"), and many-many great ideas! just watch it..

So, I would really use this method to increase its creativity and effectiveness of my New company team.
  Post your idea.
  I think this can work even for every company!
  Imagine, if you will give to every member of your team - post-its  and make him feel free
  to express his ideas, I bet the freedom in sharing ideas and unlimited inspiration will join
  your team.
  I will do such practice one day! (maybe not everytime, but once a month..)

2008. Stanford Innovation Challenge.
"Your challenge is to create as much value as possible using rubber bands. Value can be measured on any scale you choose."

Videos are here : http://www.youtube.com/groups_videos?name=eweek


So, my opinion.
Creativity should be trained inside every company.
Why dont we use ?:
 1. "Post your thoughts/ideas/feedback !" - 1 day monthly .
 2. Trainings between daily coffee breaks: Brainstorming 
      on the topic of "Creating value of regular thing". 
  Then - awarding a winner-group.
I think, this will train all three points from Creativity model (by Guilford):
- fluency
- flexibility
- originality.

p.s. to JIBS: Do we have such conferences or activities for training entrepreneurs?
