While creativity rooms are a good idea, there is more that can be done to inspire workplace creativity. A special room can help, but it's challenging. The first slide (page 2, after the section intro) is just a desert canyon. You can't beat taking a walk in nature to get your creativity moving. If you don't have a canyon, you probably have a green space or park nearby. Hold a meeting outside for a change (if the weather is nice) and see how that impacts a discussion. The next slide (page 3) juxtaposes a 'creativity room' with a very dry dull cube farm (that many of us live in from 8 to 5). Page 4 is another simple example of a creative space. Page 5 is one of IDEO's work rooms where their designers create new things and the last slide (page 6) shows a multi-purpose room. Basically a nicely appointed kitchen that can double as a 'different' space. Rearrange the tables and chairs, and have a meeting in there.
