How can artists contribute their unique talents and skills to causes outside of the performance hall or the studio?
Upstart Co-Lab and Emergence Creative have published a report that outlines why creatives, individuals they call “Artist Innovators,” can be invaluable additions to teams in the business, government, and social sectors. They found that there are two factors that can drastically change the way organizations innovate:
1) Cognitive diversity – differences in perception, judgment, and thinking style – is essential to maximizing the capacity of teams.
2) Creativity – original ideas that are effective and useful – is the single most important factor for success.
