Breaking the Walls

Abstract

This chapter interrogates the power that lies within employees' collaborative creativity, as against individualism, to achieving stated organisational goals. It advances the fact that collaboration of man and machine in the workplace lends credence to the fact that collaborative creativity possess within it, a power that can help resolve snags confronting the organisation on the one hand, and the society on the other. This chapter locates its arguments within the Yoruba culture philosophical idiom of Ajumose (doing together) to advance the fact that, collaborativeness will encourage individual collaborator to abandon giving simple judgement on big tasks, but participate in a more critical thinking. It notes further that, establishing the culture of collaboration in the 21st century is a virtue that organisations seeking comparative and competitive advantage should adhere to. Lastly, it recommends for the establishment of a collaborative culture in the workplace amongst others.
