This course introduces the topic and contains: pre-work, reflection on how the content can be applied, & an essentials collaterals pack (digital notebook).

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.


Outcomes

This course aims to develop your innovation leadership skills by identifying and building on your innovation leadership strengths, addressing potential challenge areas and teaching techniques to lead for a culture of innovation.


Who is this course for? 

Creative thinking and innovation leadership are critical future work and life skills for all leaders. Learn how to build and lead teams for innovation, identify your personal creativity blockers (using our diagnostic gameboard & tools) and transform your organisation from within. This course is suitable for all budding entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, emerging leaders or existing managers wanting to transform their leadership styles.

- Leaders and teams that want to self-diagnose the current personal, team and organisation culture that might block or allow creative thinking to flourish. 

- Use this CSI-1 tool (Who Killed Creativity? gameboard) as an important prequel to diagnose and discuss key points before embarking on any design thinking or creative problem-solving venture.

GENERAL INFORMATION, PROGRESSION PATHS & FLOW ABOUT THIS COURSE

If you are entering this online learning courses organised by A) your company, then please check what is, and is not included in the package purchased by your company / organiser. If a course(s) is/are included, then you should have received a token code to enter (to avoid paying for it yourself). 

Often companies connect some (but not always all) of these online learning courses with a pre organised face to face (workshop) / digital (webinar) session as a blended learning experience.  

There is however the options for those that have participated in (A) a company organised session, but want more, so as to learn more, dive deeper, apply the learning, try an assignment, get feedback, and with some of our courses become accredited independently. This would be done by purchasing the extra courses as set out in this progression path. (and gaining the matched certificate level associated with this.)

  3. EXTENDED LEARNING JOURNEY COURSE
    This is a summary of our key courses using our 4Rs method. (Review, Refresh, Reflect & React.) These are primarily designed as a POST learning, attached to our CORE CONTENT sessions. We have flipped the classroom to allow the learning to take place over time with key points being reinforced at strategic moments along the way.

  4. ADVANCED CERTIFICATION LEVEL COURSE
     This is to ensure the learning up to this stage can be actioned and used. In this course the participant has to complete a case study / assignment / pitch / recording of a coaching session and present it. The assignment can be followed up with one-on-one coaching and feedback session (group or individual). (Note: prerequisite core content courses apply).

(Note: prerequisite courses apply).




    WE'VE FLIPPED IT: To ensure the best use of time is achieved we have flipped the classroom. The optional independent self-paced online sessions we have designed, blend any workshops (face to face or digital) to ensure participants can upskill themselves and dive deeper into the topic. It ensures that any face-to-face / digital workshop time is effectively used for active facilitation & collaborative activities, that clarify concepts and contextualize knowledge through the application, analysis, planning and problem-solving. These courses will help leaders and teams to reflect on and find real solutions to business needs offering a risk-free high impact engagement. These courses are educationally sound, academically researched, and business orientated.
