    Are you new to the organization? It may simply be that there's no tangible incentive for all the extra work that's required to be innovative and on the cusp of the latest / greatest thing. Do your clients value that? Do your bosses? Maybe everyone else just figured out the proper amount of time / energy investment already?

    That's playing devils advocate, but there are certainly workplaces where consistency is prized above creativity.

    • No, not new. Just looking for ways to raise the bar on what we do, especially considering there's a desire around the company to submit to big awards shows.mg33
    • Awards = pro bono work, which is fantastic way to inspire designers. Create internal competition!robotron3k
    • Yep!mg33
    • Anything where your designers can be autonomous and really own their work should get them excited. Pro-bono awards fodder sounds like a good bet.monNom
