Creativity
Connecting business with its most
important resource
If you ask any group of people in your organisation whether
they are creative, the chances are that most will reply in
the negative. We believe that all people are born creative
but we are schooled to learn that creative pursuits are
suitable only for hobbies and those with exceptional talent.
But competing in the new global economy presents new
challenges. One recent IBM survey of more than 1500
CEO’s found that creativity is the single most important skill
in Leadership today. Yet less than a quarter of us feel like
we are living up to our creative potential in our lives
and our careers.
There are many competencies that you can master in
business to give you an advantage. But sooner or later
your competitors can equal the same competencies.
Except Creativity – it is the only competency that is
truly individual.
Who is it for?
If you want to harness the creative input of employees
or students then Playdays are for you. If you want to
create new products or get creative and honest
feedback on any project in a fun environment, call!

A 2 day workshop designed specifically for
organisations who wish to develop a successful culture
of creativity in all departments. Creative team leaders
and a sponsor will learn the barriers to creativity and
will develop their own competency in creating teams
that will excel in user focussed innovation. Courses can
be tailor made to suit your specific requirements -
whether you are looking for new ideas, trying to
reframe problems or just require some offsite
brainstorming facilitation!
We can also create bespoke workshops for teams and
large groups!
