You do know that all my senior strategy meetings were held in wine country
So the wine as part of strategy worked well for me
Relaxed environment
Lubrication for free thought
Worked for me

My innovations in office products, have resulted in very large sales and profit increases.

My latest patent was for a portable wind mill.

Overall, I agree with the premise that creativity occurs when we are relaxed. However, just the relaxed mindset alone is not enough.

I make a conscious decision to inform myself about the space (fill my mind with current status, and what possible improvements can do), then relax.

Relax means, almost meditate. This allows me to see technologies and solutions in completely unrelated products and services, as part of the possible improvements.

Got my name on only 33 patents; because I was thinking about making real products and services for marketing purposes.

What are the conditions for me to be in the state of mind? For that matter, what conditions will put their employees in creative state of mind?

This is the fundamental question that goes unanswered by most organization that are trying to foster creativity in their organization.

I will be glad to help developing these answers.
