• Competitive teams:
-  Various teams solving the same issue- competitive environment - e.g. hackathon
- Challenging situation (where others may have failed at solving it). 
•  Advertising: Pitch for new client: teams are told to ideate in “Blue Sky” mode. Told to go all out, and provide the best solutions with no limits in mind.

• Aligning with parties outside the organization,  e.g. vendors - approval of ideas is out of one's control 
• Advertising: Once a contract has been signed, the “Timeline” & “Cost” creates a fixed set of constraints that do not allow for free-flowing ideation or the search for the best solution - as FEASIBILITY takes a leading roll.

- positive reinforcement when displaying behaviours
- Challenging environments create need for creative thinking (have a problem to solve!)
- Leadership action - walking the talk, creating a safe environment to give input that doesn't align with the norm]]> 2023-02-23 20:20:05 UTC https://padlet.com/c_owen1/2vh8jjj54snjyf8i/wish/2493102039 Creativity can be squashed by: https://padlet.com/c_owen1/2vh8jjj54snjyf8i/wish/2493104188 - the nature of the business (security, finance)
- large slow moving organizations
- leadership actions not aligning with their stated objectives (only accepting new ideas if they align with their own mindset, for example)]]> 2023-02-23 20:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/c_owen1/2vh8jjj54snjyf8i/wish/2493104188
