Creativity
The art of inventing solutions
Often times we fall in the trap of thinking that only creating art equals being creative. Painters, sculptors, composers – they aren’t the only ones who can create. Finding novel solutions for organisations involves our creative capacity as well. Each of us can become more creative.
Creativity is an essential characteristic of development. Being successful on such a dynamic market is determined, to an overwhelming extent, by innovation capacity.
