Creativity and Innovation

A series of three workshops

Be Creative - Creative practice skills that everyone can engage in no matter the situation. Based in neuroscience and neuropsychology research, these skills are framed around building the personal capacity to be creative. 

Group Creativity - Facilitation processes for working with groups that need to think laterally and produce creative solutions. This workshop articulates the factors that guide groups towards creative solutions. The skills cover all aspects of the group process from planning, to facilitation, to follow up.

Creative Leadership - Leadership practices for guiding organisations and communities towards innovative ideas and entrepreneurial outcomes. The skill of Creative Leadership is a complex task. It is critical to understanding the role a leader plays when striving to embed creativity in an organisation, sector, or community.
