Towards a Theory of Play & Creativity / Charalampos Manemilis & Sarah Ronson (S2/E7)
Update: 2022-07-11
Description
In this episode, Alex and Wais discuss an academic paper, ‘Ideas are born in fields of play: towards a theory of play and creativity in organisational settings’ by Charalampos Mainemelis and Sarah Ronson.
The premise of this article is that play is used in organisations in two ways, either to divert us from the tedium of work or to engage us at work and promote our creativity. Play, therefore, is key to innovation, but the authors argue that we don’t know how to harness play effectively or consistently to promote innovation.
