This blog is for anyone who nourishes, accelerates, celebrates, protects or advocates for creativity. You might be an artist, an innovator, a scientist, a designer, a change agent, a community organizer, a policy wonk or someone who values creativity in their personal lives.<br /><br />I'm starting this with over 200 people who joined the Creativity Champions Group from <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/">LinkedIn</a>, but the forum is open to all who self-identify themselves as Creativity Champions. Let's see how this forum evolves. Let's start by asking people what we want to know first. Should we just introduce ourselves. Is there a few questions we'd like everyone to address?<br />Do we want to use the forum for problem solving?<br /><br />Jump in, the water's fine!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/356951065407275627-6395470693932683724?l=creativitychampions.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tom Tresserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05396511190539528756noreply@blogger.com11
