Creative capability has become an imperative in nearly all types of organisations and careers. Creativity is a critical success factor in industries involving the imagination, aesthetics, and emotion, as well as in industries involving invention, discovery, and problem solving. Small, entrepreneurial organisations rely on creativity to develop novel products and services that help them create new markets or penetrate existing markets. Large, established companies rely on creativity to reinvent their identities, products, and business processes. With the advent of the knowledge economy, creative capability has also become an important aspect of managerial jobs. Creative problem solving, creative responses to contextual variability, improvisation, and the ability to generate original, bold ideas are defining elements of career success. The purpose of this seminar is to provide the participants with knowledge and skills for developing their personal creative capability, and to provide them with concepts and practical tools for fostering the creativity of others employees, work groups, and organisations.
