Innovation is most commonly associated with the process of implementing useful ideas to create value-added products, services and processes in an organization. However, creativity comes first as a fundamental part of the innovation process and essentially a precondition for innovation. Therefore, this thesis will look into the IT company, Visma Enterprise, more specifically their Latvian division, and investigate how they can promote creativity within their organization. The aim of the study is to determine what type of activities and factors would support creativity and innovation in Visma Enterprise. In order to evaluate the current situation at Visma Enterprise authors used Ekvall Situational Outlook Questionnaire and found that employees have lack of motivation and that they have problems with communication between teams. To improve the current situation authors suggested that by organizing activities like hackathons to train employees, guide them through the process and show them what is expected from them and how it can be achieved.
