Enabling Creativity: Specific ideas to help your team flourish
summary
Practical playbook with concrete methods: run Dev days (one day per month) or a one-week build, select teams via short Dragon’s Den pitches and score ideas with planning poker; use T-shirt sizing and a simple Trello/Kanban backlog where one accountable person shows weekly progress. Built prototypes include Weather Cows (app, book, merch) and Pie Slice (Raspberry Pi ad player) while a bespoke workflow system is explicitly admitted as failed. Suggests testing an NHS micropayment pilot using Square-style tap devices against 570 million annual interactions.
