(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 15, 2008 ) Suwanee, GA -- Most people have no doubt heard about “thinking outside the box”. Very often, business creativity is referred to as thinking outside the box. People can get locked in to their day-to-day operational thinking “inside the box”, and completely forget about the requirements of the need for business creativity. It is very easy to lose sight of adding creativity to their business while they work daily at accomplishing nearby goals.

Ways to promote creativity within a business

1. Examine the assumption that the way a company does things is the only way to go. The counter argument to any new way of creative thinking in business will likely be, “but it’s always been done this way!” Employees become comfortable with the way the business operates, and some may not embrace change very easily. Creativity means change. Entrepreneurs can begin to challenge their fixed business methods by meeting with key employees and managers to brainstorm new thinking. Start the change process slowly; remembering that it probably took a while for employees to be comfortable with their present way of accomplishing their tasks and change will take time.

2. At the brainstorming session they should be sure to make the first few meetings comfortable ones. Nothing stifles business creativity more than a threatening atmosphere of “we will make change no matter what”! It may take a few casual breakfast meetings to instill the beginnings of this new approach. They will soon discover who are the “pros” and the “cons” within this process change. They can choose team leaders for creative thinking within the company, from the supporters of their new process.

3. Bring in an outside expert on business creativity to hold a company wide seminar to start people thinking that maybe creative change is not necessarily threatening, but a way to guarantee continuing growth for the company and more secure employment. The creative consultant should show examples of positive change and to hold breakout sessions with the staff involving workshops practicing creative thinking.

4. Next, they will need to identify which creative ideas that have come forward will be the most advantageous for them. This could be something as simple a slight change in the way they process their invoicing or as complex as introducing a completely new product line that they previously hadn’t pursued, but came to light as a possibility during one of their brainstorming sessions. Another example is if one of their key employees came up with ‘think global’, so they are now seriously considering an overseas office. Once they have developed and prioritized, their list of creative thinking ideas they are going to act on, it is time to move to the implementation phase!

5. It’s one thing to accomplish creative thinking, but it is another to install a working group to implement this new approach. It has to be made clear to all, that management supports the process amendments that have come about as a result of the creative business workshops and they fully expect similar support from all involved. Assemble their implementation team with a good cross section of the involved departments and include both the positive supporters and the naysayers. Monitor implementation of changes and keep in mind that creative thinking should become a regular routine, making thinking outside the box an insider thing!

There are a myriad of things they must think about when opening any type of business whether it is a small business or a large corporation and one of those is how business law may affect them. Failure to pay attention to business and corporate law can land them in a world of trouble-both legal and financial. The good news is that they do not necessarily need to be a graduate of a fancy business law college or have a business law major to brush up on the basic ideas of small business law and corporate business law.

If they’ve paid attention to the headlines lately, they probably know that employment law for business is one of the number one areas where they can get into trouble if they aren’t up on all the employment laws and regulations. There are numerous laws that govern the employment of both regular employees and contract employees. Just for a broad overview, take a look at all the employment business laws they must meet:

• Civil Rights Act of 1966.
• The Equal Pay Act of 1963
• Americans with Disabilities Act
• The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986
• The Age Discrimination in Employment Act
• The Equal Employment Opportunity Act
• The Bankruptcy Act
• The Occupational Safety and Health Act
• FMLA, the Family Medical Leave Act
• Employee Polygraph Protection Act Labor Law
• FLSA, the Fair Labor Standards Act

And that’s not even counting the various state employment business laws that might apply to their business! If they aren’t sure of whether they are meeting all the regulations, it’s a good idea to get a checkup for their HR department.

Do they happen to work in the international arena? If they have anything at all to do with international business, then they should be aware of the many ways in which international business law can affect them, their business and their bottom line. At a minimum, they need to make sure that they meet general international business laws, specialized export laws, import laws and any laws of the foreign country in which their business operates.

And what about the business law scene at home? Were they aware that in addition to Federal business law and international business law, they are probably required to meet State business law regulations? Do they know whether they need a business permit or license? Failure to obtain one can result in the shutdown of their business and hefty fines and penalties. This is just one of the ways that state business law, such as California business law, can affect the health of their business if they aren’t careful to stay on top of things.

Finally, what about Internet and online business laws? Were they even aware that there was such a thing? The Internet has exploded so much in the last decade that the government has found it necessary to institute Internet compliance laws. If they operate a website of any kind and do not meet the compliance regulations, that site could be shut down and they could face criminal prosecution and hefty fines. Of course, no one should ever attempt to navigate the complexities of any type of business law alone and the best course of action is to always seek the qualified professional advice of a business law firm, but hopefully these tips will help they to understand a little bit more about business law requirements.
