Justin is a manager at InnoApp Inc., a web$-$based applications company. In an attempt to promote new ideas, Justin decides to allow his engineering team to devote $15$ percent of their work time to whatever projects they would like to work on and reduces their assigned workload. He then institutes a $30-$minute period each morning where the team members are asked to look over their current project list for the day and develop more knowledge about a task before they move on to work on their assigned tasks. The time period set aside each morning primarily helps promote stages of the creative process.
