From the Editor's Desk - June 2005

Welcome to the very special sixth issue of Wavelength. This month Wavelength gets a home it can call its own. The irritating pop-ups, the banner, and sidebar advertisements are all things of past…now you can enjoy Wavelength uninterrupted! Wavelength now resides at http://www.vibrantwavelength.com. And this isn’t all; Wavelength also introduces a new section called “Serials,” which deals with topics that are big for a single issue yet not big enough to become a permanent feature.

This month Wavelength also publishes the views of some of its esteemed readers and thanks all who have subscribed to Wavelength and helped it find its feet. This month Wavelength will appear in more than 300 mailboxes across India. Before we move on, thanks are also due to readers of Wavelength who have sent their suggestions. I hope to implement as many as I can.

The "Mystery of the Month" for June is “The Paradox of Creativity Management.” This article is a tentative road map into the less traveled and seemingly forbidding territory of Creativity Management. Unfortunately, despite its usefulness in improving efficiency, productivity, happiness index of employees (if such a parameter exists,) and quality; most managers prefer to let creativity management be the last on their to-do list.

We shall begin by unveiling the term “creativity’ and then analyze what makes a good creativity manager. This article is also the thought-stirrer for the contents of our first serial, which is naturally called “Managers of Creativity.” I invite all eLearning project managers to share their experiences on creativity management. With its reach across the Indian eLearning industry, Wavelength can help share knowledge across organizations. According to andragogy, an adult learner learns best by comparing experiences; so this sharing will probably lead to an exponential growth in our cumulative knowledge.

The "Site of the Month" for June deserves a special mention as one of the most stimulating techno sites on the web. Remember to check it out.

I would like to thank you all for sending me your views and subscribing to Wavelength. I hope that your interest and emotional bind with Wavelength grows each month, and Wavelength truly turns vibrant by reflecting your energy.

Warm Regards,

Shafali R. Anand.
