Abstract

This paper reports the results of new research that sought the long-term uptake of digital support for human creativity to improve health-and-safety in 3 manufacturing plants over an 18-month period. The systematic risk detection and resolution processes of each plant were extended with digital support for employees to think creatively about resolutions to encountered health-and-safety risks. The different uses, successful and unsuccessful, revealed which digitized creativity techniques were effective, different enablers for and barriers to the uptake of the digital creativity support in complex work places, and the importance of aligning work practices and digital capabilities to support creative thinking.
