What are some successful stories on enhancing and facilitating group creativity?

I wish to facilitate a weekly session to help increase creativity and productivity in my department. What are the activities I can do, or some success stories of proven methods used by companies that I can share?

Answers:
I heard a story of a company CEO who provided his employees with several items to spark their creativity/productivity. He purchased crayons, paper, paints, games, yo-yos, modeling clay, paperdolls, rock'em-sock'em robots, bubbles, spirograph, legos, anything that would remind them of being a kid, to use in the employee breakroom. He began noticing a HUGE improvement in productivity, teamwork, not to mention the creative ideas for sales and advertising that began "flowing" from his employees. Their creativity, given the chance, saved his company, and increased their profits ten-fold. Good Luck!
