Abstract

Developing innovative strategies is at the heart of the arts. Applying practices that include art-making and the aesthetic experience of artworks is a largely untapped resource in organizations that can be used for innovation, problem-solving, self- and other-awareness, cultural cohesion within the organization, and transformation. This essay offers an overview of ways in which the arts are currently being applied in organizations and a call to greater inclusion of arts and organizations in the future.
