WHILE DAVID WALKER CONFIRMS it is not feasible to document the precise components and steps in creative processes, his provocative analysis does articulate essential elements inherent in any creative organizational environment. The soup is the mix of factors that stimulates creativity with respect to a particular project. The bowl is the management structure that nurtures creative outcomes in general. And the table is the context of leadership and vision that focuses creative energies towards innovative but realizable objectives.
