Thougths about creativity is often filled with kliches and myths. The Idea Work project investigates what Norway’s most sucessful companies are actually doing in their daily work. What do the architects in Snøhetta, the analysts in Point Carbon and the geologists in StatoilHydro do when they are at their best?

What is driving good ideas forward?

The BIA day, arranged 28th of April 2009, representatives from each of these internationally leading companies presented idea work and drivers for innovative practices using examples from their companies and their successful work.
