One of the themes at this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos (January 25-29) is "the creative imperative." As German Chancellor Angela Merkel explained in her keynote address, citizens must have the freedom and ability to translate innovative ideas into action. By allowing the creative imperative to flourish, a society encourages innovation, which in turns leads to prosperity and societal well-being.
A number of weblogs are keeping tabs on the event, including the World Economic Forum blog (featuring podcasts with innovative thinkers like Sergey Brin of Google), George Polk’s blog at the Financial Times, a blog from an AP reporter and Bruce Nussbaum’s design blog. There’s also a great blog post about the creative imperative from Fast Company called What’s the Key to Creativity?
So is this "creative imperative" something that people will act on once they return home from Davos?
