About this CSI-1 Course:
We need to be creative to be innovative. But the relentless push to innovate faster is producing a toxic culture that may undermine the whole creative process. In our rush for end results fast, we could ironically be killing the very thing that will lead us to innovation: creativity. Creativity and innovation are not interchangeable words, and it’s important for effective businesses to understand why. In this session, we explore why we need both and the paradoxes behind this that can impact our work.
Innovation is key for organisation transformation - but to prepare for innovation, there needs to be both a culture of creativity (at the organisation level) and creative thinking mindset and skill development (at the personal level). There are no shortcuts, and this is why many companies that only focus on embracing design thinking, agile, digital, and other innovation activities & tools (such as innovation labs, hackathons, sprints, scrum and design thinking models) often fail.
This session focuses on the potential psychological and neurological blocks to critical and creative thinking, and the practical process leaders can engage in with practical strategies to achieve more innovative results in themselves, their team, and their organization. This is an interactive diagnostic session designed to provoke an engaging discussion about the potential blocks to critical and creative thinking. Highly recommended to do prior to embarking on any design thinking learning / project.
