Time spent being creative or being productive. It’s always been about compromise. But the truth is, they’re one in the same. Or at least they are now – in the modern day.

As advances in technology make us more efficient, the focus is shifting from doing more to achieving more. Successful leaders will be the ones who build a culture where ideas thrive.

The workplace is changing. Fast.
Leaders are understanding that with the right tools in place, focusing on creativity goes hand in hand with getting things done – efficiently and effectively.
Today:
This is the New Culture of Work.
