Dear Dr Awad Mabrok

You're right in suggesting that a certain period of acclimatization is necessary for employees to reach a level of comfort and understanding in their roles, from which they can start innovating and rethinking work processes.

In my experience, the three-month timeframe you mentioned is a reasonable estimate for many situations. This period allows employees to grasp the nuances of their roles and understand the existing workflows and systems. However, it's important to note that the time required can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the job and the individual's prior experience and adaptability.

In addition to this period of immersion, what's crucial is the workplace culture and environment. A culture that encourages questioning, experimentation, and risk-taking can significantly accelerate the onset of creative and innovative thinking. Employees should feel safe to propose new ideas and challenge the status quo without fear of retribution. This environment can stimulate creative thinking much earlier than in traditional, risk-averse cultures.

Furthermore, ongoing training and support play a critical role. Regular workshops, brainstorming sessions, and exposure to cross-functional projects can give employees fresh perspectives and inspire innovative ideas. This approach not only nurtures creativity but also helps align these innovations with the organization's broader objectives.

Thank you very much, Dr. Daniel Martinez. I am glad for your interest and your valuable scientific contribution to the topic, as well as your feedback. Yes, there are important indicators and key determinants, including the organizational environment, individual experience, and the individual's desire for development, problem-solving, and innovation. Thank you very much, and I am pleased with your interest and valuable response.
