Creativity is often seen as a crucial element in the innovation process. However, the individual and group creativity is difficult to recognise and support for the corporate innovation process. This research searches answers how information systems (IS) could facilitate the creativity, learning and problem-solving processes. Findings from systems theories literature suggest that social networks and brokering play an important role. The design process of a mobile information system is illustrated. Although an IS can be advantageous in the innovation process, certain leadership and human resource management questions are raised.
