	Leveraging applied creativity Bozzuto’s, a grocery distribution company, faced a multimillion-dollar customer return situation. Key players tackled this issue, as a team, during Simplex training. Buoyed by its initial success in the workshop, the team created a new credit procedure that reduced returns by 50% in the first year.
	Facilitating culture change Changing markets compelled Kimball Corporation to break employees’ longstanding reliance on top managers and to think for themselves. The Basadur Applied Creativity system was the key to opening the “mental tool box,” which allowed thousands of employees to understand the company’s new goals and to implement many new initiatives such as ISO 9000 and ERP.
