How companies think creatively is one of the most significant areas of inquiry in business. Recent research into problem solving has shown a direct relationship between mindfulness, social progress, and creativity. Mindfulness Resource Lab: Workforce and Business Development for the Creative Economy looks at mindfulness as a business resource especially in the context of creative companies within a defined city culture. We hope to investigate the potential correlation between the cultivation of collective mindfulness with creativity and innovation.
