Can we fruitfully apply creative ecology practices in the world of industrial production? Enter the crealectic method for innovation and self-innovation, aiming at fostering creative long-term thinking and acting. The crealectic method proposes five steps: Step 1-Resetting (doing tabula rasa); Step 2-Crealing (reconnecting with the "Creal"); Step 3-Profusing (letting ideas pour out without censorship); Step 4-Compossibilizing (connecting compatible ideas); Step 5-Realizing (understanding and making real). I describe a pilot test of the method within the Research and Development unit of Vattenfall, a Swedish power company dedicated to fossil-free energy production
