Why do you think creativity is the answer?
15:26
We've got so much evidence.

It's no longer, thank God, a question of creativity being this elusive thing concept, right? One of the challenges I see today still when it comes to creativity in the commercial world, in business, there's still a problem around establishing this shared language in the boardroom.

If you talk about creativity in a board, the CMO might have a definition, the CEO might have a definition, the CFO might have another one.

So that is still a problem.

And depending on the business you talk to, depending on their level of maturity in terms of using creativity as a business lever, that might be the first thing they need to sort of like tackle.

What do we mean by creativity? Let's create a shared language around it.
