Creativity and Innovation

A two day training and development event for organisations or teams that want to explore the role of creativity and its application in encouraging practical innovation.

Together we consider:

  • What is creativity?
  • What is its relationship to innovation in an organisation?
  • Are we creative enough and how do we measure it?
  • How can we be more creative, individually and collectively?

This event helps you answer these questions in a pragmatic, exciting and constructive way.

In this two-day programme we explore:

  • Our new knowledge of creativity as an emergent phenomenon in complex adaptive systems
  • The practice of creativity in leading creative organisations
  • The disciplines of creativity as exemplified in the creative arts

Programme contents:

  • Staying At The Leading Edge - why organisations must be creative to survive and flourish
  • Unlocking The Vast Potential At The Heart Of The Organisation - how to access the creativity within your organisation or team
  • Doing It Tomorrow In The Real World - ways of applying your creativity to suit your purpose
  • Unsticking - how to use creativity to get away from problems and to shift unhelpful patterns of behaviour
  • Working Together - ways of adapting, to learn as individuals, teams and as an organisation
  • Delivering Innovation In Real Time Every Day - gently shaping the culture to better support both creativity and action
  • 'Wake Up And Smell The Zeitgeist' - crucial understandings of how the new world works

The two days are a lively mix of presentations, discussions, demonstrations, participative activities and planning. They are appropriately creative.

The pre-course letter tunes-in participants, prompting thought and ideas to kick-start the event.

We guide you through the complexities of creativity and innovation, bringing our expertise, ideas and a well-stocked resource library.
