As organizations are increasingly feeling the pressure to adapt to the realities of a new economy, more are turning to innovation and creativity as a competitive strategy. To be successful, however, producing organizational creativity has to be more than a tagline, slogan or abstract goal. How can your organization truly deliver on its goals of fostering creativity and innovation?

We believe that nearly everyone has creative potential, and that creative performance is within reach for any organization willing to invest in developing creative leaders. In this interactive workshop that incorporates improv activities and active discussion, organizational psychologists from Basil Consultants will provide insights and strategies around how to develop creative leaders who in turn can shape a more innovative organization.

Key Takeaways

  • Explore how innovation and creativity are defined and how they can be operationalized in your organization
  • Understand the key steps to promote and sustain a culture of innovation
  • Learn strategies to identify and develop creative leaders
  • Walk away with ideas on how to use improv for developing creative leaders as part of your L&D toolkit
