1CREATIVITY IN ENTERPRISE
This essay is my personal reflective, which is based on my personal evaluation and what I
have learnt. The creative as well as cultural industries that play a significant role in the
evaluation of understanding the way communication, teamwork, improved interpersonal skills
can facilitate imagination and creativeness in an enterprise. The thesis statement of my reflective
essay is the vital importance of teamwork and independent thinking in incorporate creativity in
the establishment of an enterprise. My essay will focus on my evaluation on the way thoughtful
and grave discussion leads to develop effective creativity and vision to an organization by
shedding light on the 3Rs strategy for public sector turnaround.
During my learning session, I have been instructed to gather necessary knowledge from
the Bloomberg Business Week to comprehend the benefits of various aspects of discussion and
team collaboration to help in enhancing the value of an organization. A thorough evaluation of
the daily has effectively portrayed the advantages of collaboration at any enterprise. We must
understand the importance of group at any given space. If a team or group is regarded as an art
form of culture, then the assemblage of these teams must be considered as artistry whereby we
human beings will learn to cultivate and explore certain innovation and creativeness within an
enterprise (Alahuhta et al. 2014). Global society in recent times implements teamwork to create
wealth, consumer service as well as several other indicators in relation to the productivity of any
organization. Reading the corporate daily has made me enhance my knowledge about the
benefits of team collaboration in order to produce creative and innovative products in similar
sense the way an artist would require his art tools to illustrate his thoughtful ideas and
imagination. However, I must take into consideration the immense contribution of science in the
formation of a team in an enterprise. In recent times almost every book, articles and magazines
shed light on the significance of collaboration for innovation. Earlier the sole creator was being

told about the amalgamation of members that led to group thinking further leading to develop
areas of consensus as well as convergent thoughts and ideas (McKenna-Cress and Kamien 2013).
Teamwork and group thinking have been considered as a central theme to creativity and
innovation because of several reasons. During my class sessions, I have gained knowledge of the
way association; speed, relationship; power and implementation play a vital role in developing
new and unique ideas and improve the power of the vision of the members related to the
enterprise. Teamwork helps in improving the probabilities of association occurring between
originating ideas that result in a unique combination of individuals. It must be taken into account
that the inventor may not work on originating the idea but might assist in uniting his incomplete
thought with another individual of the team to identify a pioneering configuration. This further
facilitates in developing the level of performance and activity in an enterprise. Group thinking
further increases the pace of organizational functions. An inventive explanation is generally
regarded as a combination of thoughts from conception of the idea to its delivery (de Guerre et
al.2013). Group thinking according to me not only increases the speed of the chain of thoughts
but also result in some creative visions. However, executives can implement the Pyramid
Principle of Barbara Minto that has been considered as an effective communication process to
interact with anyone without caused any complexities or arguments. This tool can further
increase the value business and public sector service chain as has been taught to us in the class.
This pyramid tool not only paves way for new and unique ideas but further help in providing
services as well as positive outcomes to its full potentialities with ultimate delivery value to the
business. As a leader, this tool can be an effective implementation to work with their
stakeholders in order to work on any significant assignment. It further gives growth of
relationship building which facilitates in a rise of new ideas. Another importance of group

thoughts is that it helps in providing power to control the ongoing functions of the enterprise and
further assists to rise above the expected resistance power within the team.
The primary area of my study lied on the significance of several approaches to improve
and grow the level of communication of an organization further working on its talent retention
procedure. Through my evaluation, I have identified the role of talent retention and employee
satisfaction can be indeed a challenging role to play for any inventor or owner of an enterprise. A
contented and successful organization must adhere to a 3Rs strategy in order to improve growth
of its enterprise. The most effective approaches to retain and maintain a strong employee base
must include the three elements namely, recruitment, referrals and retention (Eshiteti et al.
2013). In recent times, the level of expertise and knowledge of an employee can be gathered
much prior to the job he or she begins to perform. Glassdoor and several other portals for
jobseekers help any individual to put his or her feedback on a prospective company even if there
is no direct association (Cervellon and Lirio 2017). A reputation and status of an enterprise relies
on the number of hires it can attract. Thus as per my thoughts, it is highly essential for a
company to treat all its candidates with equal level of importance and respect that it intends to
extend to its labour force. Referrals and rewards also play a very vital role on the effective
functioning of an organization. Through my evaluation, I have understood the strength of a
labour in an effective productiveness of an organization. A properly structured referral program
assists in the development of an enterprise. It must be noted the way an inventor can empower
and benefit its workforce in the selection procedure by reducing the cost of employment and time
required to hire new talents. In similar sense, an enterprise owner must give utmost significance
to the hiring strategy whereby shall encourage the value of the current employee base.
Organizations with excess rate of retention must work of changing the areas of engagement of

its current employee base. It has been understood by me, that the importance of team
collaboration and the implementation of 3R strategies have strong alliance with an effective
process of communication amongst employees. An effective communication not only facilitates
enterprise owners in setting objectives and associations but also evidently states the defined
goals and purposes (Oshri, Kotlarsky and Willcocks 2015). However, according to my analysis a
chief component of communication depends on the listening skills of the members of the team.
One must offer a team to share a communicative process to share individual knowledge and
ideas. Even though companies have introduced several communication and interactive policies
but very few have adherence to them.
Therefore, from the above discussion, I have come to this conclusion that effective
communication is the key to establish a successful team building which results in a diversified
work environment which permits the workers to work with unique and innovative skills to give
rise to a great team. Through my evaluation, I comprehended how communication helps in
developing teams and the way these teams result in originating several innovative ideas and
thoughts. I will truly acknowledge the way team collaboration helps in the facilitation of
expressing one’s thoughts with utmost respect, which would have otherwise been confined into
minds of an individual. In addition to this, the role of 3Rs strategy must also be taken into
significance that has given a definite impact on the retention level of an organization. However ,
for both these approaches effective and inter personal communication functions as a fundamental
aspect for both team collaboration and employee retention process to improve the successful
growth of the organization.
