Otherwise, they'll just pump out the final product the way YOU see it, with only minor enhancements. As I'm in the insurance consulting business, I will add that part of the resource constraints are budget and time deadlines (which somewhat disagrees with the free time assumption you give). As on offset to that, the client's expectations and data can lead to creativity of methods and assumptions, and that is usually fun. Good job Robert.

In my mind, creativity is essential for "success" in all aspects of life. The Ideative Process is a refreshing look at something innate in us all. Keep up the good work!
