THE CAsE FOR CREATIVITY

Creativity in business means more than coming up with clever ways to engage with the outside world. It’s about how you communicate, collaborate and innovate internally too.

According to IBM* and the Harvard Business Review** creativity is the single most crucial factor for future success in the fast changing 21st-century business landscape.

Traditional leadership models often lack the skills to drive innovation. An effective leader can see the whole, tell a story, synthesize information and inspire a team. They’re resourceful, can come up with great strategies and take nothing for granted – the current way of doing things may not be the best way. This takes creativity.
