Creative Team Building Exercises
As a once active participant in the corporate rat race, I found most so-called "Team Building" exercises to be outright mundane. It seems that most companies want to extract as much as possible from every employee and fail to reciprocate when they are called to do the same. I've had the pleasure of working with several organizations who have taken the challenge of building a stronger, more cohesive unit to a whole new level. I will share with you some creative and effective ideas for your next team building exercise.

In this article, I include tips on how to get useful client/peer input on everything from logos to web design, to content.

Creative agencies, whether they specialize in graphic design, advertising or web, are just what you would want them to be – creative.

Selecting the wrong creative partner is a waste of money and time that can turn an exciting project into an exercise in frustration. Sure, you want a firm with outstanding creative skills.

Thinking In and Out of the Box
The current buzz phrase among business and creative types is, "Thinking out of the box." This means that you think in non-orthodox, non-traditional ways that lead you to new and creative conclusions. This is a powerful tool, as far as it goes, because it allows you to use your entire creative mind without limiting yourself to the way things have always been done. However, while you're thinking in the new "out of the box" way, don't forget that there are some pretty great concepts in that old box. Traditional thinking at one time was someone's creative "out of the box" thinking. Because it was successful, that thought became traditional or "in the box."
