concentration in order to develop a good climate in which employees are not only creative, but
also motivated and given the opportunity to add their ideas to add more value to their work and
thus contributing success to the whole company. This paper aims to analyze the various given
scenarios in the given assessment.
Part 1. Analysis of workplace Creativity Culture
Positive Attributes
First Scenario:
 The suggestion by Marketing Director to take the employees to have lunch outside their
usual working environment is a good attribute which would enhance climate creativity
since the chance given to the employees will feel as the part of the company and will
work towards achieving the best for the organization.
 The General Manager idea to introduce an online platform for people to discuss ideas as
they occur enhance to climate creativity since workers are able to give their new ideas
and approaches to the project in the organization, also they are given an opportunity to
speak of their experiences and challenges faced. The General Manager told the Marketing
Director that he had taken a step earlier to ask Pam to draft a virtual message box for
people to write and drop their views and complains.
Second Scenario:

Third Scenario:
 The thought of changing the way the company should employee new workers will not

the most creative idea to improve the company creative culture and general culture of the
organization (Wright et al., 2017).
 Planning ahead and forward thinking will give the idea on the direction they should
operate on, everybody will work toward achieving that goal. This will encourage
creativity since employees will try come up with ways in which they can achieve the set
goals. Operation Manager’s proposal was a positive inspired rational with his long-range
and forward planning will help promote the business.
Negative Attribute
First Scenario:
 The suggestion to take employees out for lunch by the Marketing Manager was turned
down by the General Manager, he is only concern about the deadline of the project which

Second Scenario:
