<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'>Innovation is a critical force
in organizational performance and survival. Changes in technology,
globalization, and increased competition have all created an environment in
which creativity and innovation are needed in order to cope with situational
and economic pressures and frequent changes. <span style='color:black'>Designers
and Developers of organizational systems must therefore innovate almost
continuously to keep the organization aligned with such changes. </span>Creativity
is a critical pre-condition for innovation. Generating novel and creative ideas
are the key to innovation and growth in every organization today. Providing
employees, customers and partners with tools to think creatively has been
proven to increase innovation in organizations. Research shows that
organizations which have established skill-bases and tools for creativity
outperform the competition in terms of revenue, rolling out new products,
innovation and growth. Though organizations deploy groups for most creative
processes, there has been little research in the area of group creativity. Most
creative research is focused on individual factors affecting creativity. Many
challenges that arise from pursuing creativity in teams remain unexplored. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thus, papers are welcome that contain original ideas on how
to improve creativity and innovation through all phases of problem-solving:
Understanding a problem, devising potential solutions, evaluating alternatives,
making choices, making plans, taking action, and after-action review. We seek
papers that suggest methodical, technical, theoretical, or practical
improvements for realizing creative ideas in the workforce as innovations, for
an organization cannot benefit from its creativity until its ideas are
implemented.<span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The purpose of HICSS is to provide a forum for the
interchange of ideas, research results, development activities, and
applications among academicians and practitioners in computer-based systems
sciences. The conference consists of tutorials, advanced seminars,
presentations of accepted papers, open forum, tasks forces, and plenary and
distinguished guest lectures. There is a high degree of interaction and
discussion among the conference participants because the conference is
conducted in a workshop-like setting.<o:p></o:p></p>
