A Creative Democracy is a culture where everyone has a voice & a vote.

A Creative Democracy empowers everyone in a company to think and collaborate in a safe, egoless environment. By freeing the creative soul, this democratization of creativity unleashes the potential for breakthrough thinking. Which gives you a much better chance to save your ass with great ideas.

Anyone can have a great idea.

We all possess the ability to come up with a killer idea. No matter what we’ve been taught or told. It’s a matter of unleashing what’s already inside of us. Yes, you heard right: creativity is in all of us.

Dictatorship

When one person at the top holds absolute power over the entire creative process, that’s a creative dictatorship. They lord over everything. You’re just a puppet on a string forced to execute their crap ideas. You're all screwed.

Democracy

No dictator. No hierarchy. No strings. A democracy puts the idea in the center of the universe, where it belongs. A creative democracy is idea-centric, not asshole-centric. Everyone has a voice. Everyone has a vote.
