Organisations spend a lot of time and attention on measures to increase their capacity for innovation. This often ignores fostering creativity within the organisation, while every innovation is the result of a creative process. Increasing the creative capacity of employees also strengthens an organisation's innovative power.
Innovation through Creative Thinking
Innovation and creativity are crucial to making progress, competing successfully and developing sustainable policies. Especially nowadays, when the speed at which organisations are faced with change is increasing. Does your organisation also have innovation and creativity challenges? Then this programme is perfect for you.
General
However, the right preconditions are often lacking for creativity to flourish effectively. On the one hand, this is due to a limited understanding of the psychological processes underlying creativity. On the other hand, there is too little insight into the factors that can cause creativity to be promoted or impeded within an organisation.
In the Innovation through Creative Thinking course, scientific knowledge is brought together in an accessible overview, and various myths about creativity and innovation are unravelled. In various assignments, you will work on the material yourself to gain a better understanding of your own organisation's innovativeness and creativity.

Programme
Module 1: Foundations of creativity and innovation
In this two-day module, we provide an overview of the core concepts of this course. In addition, we explain the framework of the training. The framework consists of three parts. Namely:
1. generating and implementing creativity
2. what are the drivers and barriers?
3. the levels at which creativity can take place (individual, team and organisation)
Module 2: Creativity and innovation in individuals
This two-day module focuses on the individual. We zoom in on important drivers and barriers of creativity such as thinking styles, the creative brain, resistance to innovation, conscious and unconscious processes, time pressure, mood, motivation and personality characteristics.
Module 3: Creativity and innovation in teams
Creativity and innovation in teams is the focus. You will discuss with other participants factors that influence creativity. We also reflect on 'brainstorming' and giving feedback to promote team creativity
Module 4 :Creativity and innovation in organisations
This module focuses on the creative organisation. This means that during this module we mainly focus on aspects related to the design of the organisation (such as structure, control capacity, team design and self-organisation) and how this can stimulate or hinder creativity. We also pay attention to the role of leadership.
Module 5: Presentations and conclusion
The final module is all about integration and application of what we have learned. We take a bird's eye view of the training framework. Participants present their final assignment and receive feedback from lecturers and other participants.
