Oklahoma: The Sooner State''Or is that the Creativity State?
In a recent blog post at Creativity and Innovation blog, they recently posted on one state's mission to become known as The Creativity State. When one thinks of the state of Oklahoma, that's not usually what comes to mind, usually it's football, tornadoes, cowboys, or vast amounts of land. That will be no more if the Governor Brad Henry has can change the course of his state. This initiative is not only supported by the governor, but also the businesses and schools of the state. Sir Ken Roberts is the brain behind project, which focuses on creativity in schools, businesses and the culture of the state. They believe that if creativity is started from a young age, their state has the opportunity to flourish.
According to the Creativity Project webpage, the goals for the project are:
1. To leverage existing creativity and elevate the creative potential of Oklahomans;
2. To empower all Oklahomans to develop their capacity for creativity and innovation;
3. To facilitate the growth of an entrepreneurial economy that will stimulate new careers, companies and industries; and
4. To facilitate the further development of world-class cultural and educational opportunities.
