Nurturing Creativity

The concept of creativity is often seen as fuzzy, and a “nice-to-have”.  But the past decades have revealed the science behind creativity, both in terms of the factors which help contribute to creative individuals, teams, and organizations, and also in the importance of creativity as a contributor to productivity, innovation, and positive outcomes. 

Our faculty for this session are colleague from the Museum of Life and Science, with decades of experience working at the intersection of science, creativity, and public impact. Together, we will ‘unpack’ the creative process and explore how it can be applied even within government, and our roles as leaders in providing the means and encouragement for creativity to flourish.

This will be a hands-on, minds-on session, learning-by-doing with purposeful games, simple activities to tap into one’s inner artist, accessible and powerful improv techniques, and methods to weave these in to your environment and shift long-term behavior, taking into account the unique context of the public sector.
