Creativity and Innovation for the Workplace (P232)

Improving Performance, Job Satisfaction and Engagement

“There is no such thing as creative and non-creative people; only people who use creativity and people who don’t.”
-Brene Brown

Creativity is innate in all of us; but too many people and organizations unknowingly hinder it from flourishing. Without creativity, it is impossible to develop an innovative organization that can deliver improved services and products and maintain sustainable competitive advantage.

And the stakes have never been higher. The world is in the early stages of a new era of disruptive innovation that promises to transform every workplace and sector of society. Adaptation is the new normal, and creativity is the new literacy.

Explore how using creativity strategically can help you provide powerful solutions to problems and increase motivation, job satisfaction and engagement. Learn how creativity can be harnessed at an organizational level, and, with the right processes in place, serve as an engine of innovation.

This is a one-day workshop in Ottawa.

Note: This course is available as a stand-alone workshop, or you can enhance your learning by taking the companion workshop, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving for Effective Decision-Making (P233).

Space is still available for all course dates listed, unless otherwise noted.
