Developing a Culture of Change and Creativity

For large scale change and transformation to happen, a collective culture is needed that embraces change, reaches all members of the academic community and allows ideas to flourish and grow beyond initial initiatives. Building such a culture is never easy, nor can it be done by any individual alone - it takes time and disappears all too easily. Hence, I think that many pieces of how this kind of culture can be built could be interesting for a broader audience, as many of the smaller initiatives or approaches are fairly general in nature and could be usable in a broad set of environments. In this article I will look at seven different approaches and areas, which in my opinion have all had a part in creating an environment which makes such a transformative culture possible.
