Promoting Peace and Development

In order to practice creativity, one must be a master of his particular domain, while also having the autonomy to explore and the flexibility to step outside of the box. However, having the right characteristics and even the most inspiring work conditions doesn’t guarantee a creative result. Creativity techniques are thought processes or methods used to generate divergent thinking disrupt services, and restrict mobility. The vast majority of people become poorer. Businesses are a vital, visible part of economic recovery: it is their most obvious contribution to peace. They create jobs, produce goods and services, and increase societal wealth. They can often boost the local economy and promote peace even more by using local suppliers, wherever possible, rather than relying on imports. In order to undergird local economies in post-conflict areas, businesses often perform tasks typically considered as state responsibilities, such as building roads, schools, and clinics. They do this partly out of self-interest good infrastructure and services are vital for business operations and partly to gain support among local communities. However, this can be a double-edged sword: by supplying these services, businesses may further weaken states, exacerbating tensions between local people and governments seen as neglectful. To avoid this, businesses should partner with governments when possible.
