Creativity at Work: Winning in the Global Economy

The Global Economy is a Creative Economy, where ideas add value to new products, processes and services.

The Creative Economy popularized by economist Richard Florida, suggests that our competitive advantage lies in our ability to solve problems, forge new frontiers, and quickly adjust to changing economic forces.

The economic future of an organzation depends on its ability to create wealth by fostering innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship. For innovation to flourish, organizations must create an environment that fosters creativity; bringing together multi-talented groups of people who work in close collaboration together— exchanging knowledge, ideas and shaping the direction of the future.

Generating fresh solutions to problems, and the ability to create new products, processes or services for a changing market, are part of the intellectual capital that give a company its competitive edge.

We work at the intersections of Business, Art, Design and Science to help you turn leaden thinking into gold, through arts-based training, coaching and research-based consulting. We use artistic processes in concert with dialogue, weaving right-brain imagination with left-brain logic and analysis to help you uncover breakthrough solutions.

Creativity and Innovation Skills Training

Creativity is a core competency for leaders and managers, and a crucial component of the innovation equation. Creativity requires whole-brain thinking; right-brain imagination, artistry and intuition, plus left-brain logic and planning.
