Creativity is not a linear (stage gated) process, we create as the universe creates in successive passes narrowing in focus over time (a spiral). Any gated process requires the "air" (time and money) to allow the creative process to naturally unfold.

To balance bursts of creativity with project goals, a Sprint Buffer approach is highly effective. This method reserves dedicated time slots in the project timeline for innovation without derailing the overall schedule. In a recent inventory optimization project, I implemented this approach by scheduling brief “innovation sprints,” allowing team members to explore ideas without disrupting deadlines. Combining this with agile check-ins kept creativity structured. "Creativity, Inc." by Ed Catmull offers inspiring insights on structured creativity. It’s like building a Lego castle—let creativity guide you but follow the instructions to see it stand strong! ???? Do follow for more insights like this! ??

I’ve had moments where bursts of creativity can feel overwhelming, but staying on track means channeling that energy effectively. I set clear project goals, break tasks into manageable steps, and allow room for creative exploration without losing sight of deadlines and deliverables.

La creatividad es una chispa. O la tienes o no la tienes. Pero para que no te pillen todos los toros es importante organizarse bien. Para nadie es bueno trabajar con prisas, como resultado de una pésima organización. Hay eventos que surgen como emergencia y habrá que cubrirlos. Pero… Si un trabajo no era urgente un viernes por la ma?ana, supongo que tampoco lo será ya hasta que se vuelva a abrir la agencia. ?Algún cirujano disponible? Trabajar con chispas requiere cierto cuidado. Para que no se provoquen incendios indeseables.

Para alinear la creatividad con los objetivos de un proyecto, es esencial tener claros tres aspectos: el público objetivo, los plazos de entrega y los resultados esperados. En ocasiones, el "real time" demanda soluciones rápidas para abordar problemas de manera oportuna. Para estos casos, contar con un banco de investigación previo y realizar debates de sprint en tiempos reducidos facilita la resolución efectiva y ágil del problema.
