The Toronto International Film Festival's introduction of the People's Choice Award exemplified integrative thinking: Pierce Handling loved everything about the inclusive community festival but wanted the international media buzz of exclusive festivals, so he created the People's Choice Award which got the buzz through public voting (maintaining inclusivity) rather than an exclusive jury, making the festival more inclusive while gaining the desired feature of the exclusive model.
