Creativity is something that should be cherished as it leads to innovative ideas for solving business challenges. It is against this backdrop that five years ago, power generator KenGen embarked on an innovation journey: KenGen Annual G2G Innovation Seminar envisaged promoting innovation that creates value. Since 2012, more than 500 innovation ideas have been submitted, with 98 undergoing implementation. The event stands out in the KenGen calendar, not as an innovation day, but a year’s culmination of the company’s conscious drive to embrace innovation as a culture. Ultimately, such innovation is strongly associated with workplace cultures and jobs in which employees and teams are empowered to take control of the way they work.
