Article by Charles Handy on how organizations can foster creativity by following the doughnut principle. Handy begins the article describing how organizations are currently and regularly outsourcing work to employees in the modern era, describing this phenomenon as a missed opportunity to stimulate creativity for employers. He proceeds to recommend that organizations continue to engage in outsourcing as much as possible on the basis of treating insiders as outsiders, managing their outcomes rather than their actual processes. Handy identifies this work order as the doughnut principle of management, which, he notes, substitutes effectiveness for efficiency and, properly implemented, provides both incentive and opportunity to workers.
