Does one loses to creative thoughts when one has to work in stringent processes?

Process are defined to ease out work or let’s say lot of work. When there are huge teams working around to solve a common goal. I think processes do play a pivotal role when there are overlaps among varied functions in an organization. Processes do play critical role when there is a new entrant on floor where in the newbie can refer to the standard operating processes.

Amid all the back and forth communication among various stake holders are we forgetting to be innovative, creative in the journey or are we really blind folded following the processes.

If innovation stops then maybe we would have still used pigeons to send messages across. Or are we really afraid to be receptive to new, innovative, creative ideas or thoughts around.

This brings me to closer to my function – People say think out of the box, where as I say don’t “Don’t have any box.
