What does it take to be creative in business? That’s the question Now Go Create Founder Claire Bridges set out to answer when she wrote In Your Creative Element, the playbook for budding creatives and leaders. This best-seller covers inspiration and practical guidance and exercises to unlock creativity in everyone. Published by Kogan Page, this is an original work on one of the hottest industry topics. Written by a female Creative Director who has made it her business to unpick how and why creative ideas are born, develop and survive or die.

“Creative thinking seems to have been regarded as one of the dark arts by many senior managers. This book and Now Go Create’s approach is to demystify creativity. Your own creative instincts can be honed and mastered using the nuggets of insight. Read it, love it, do it!” Arif Haq
Creativity is a strategic issue

The books and Now Go Create’s courses provide accessible, down to earth practical tools to unlock creative potential.” Stuart Yeardsley, Creative Director, Zeno

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do your courses cost?
Please contact lucy to find out our prices. It depends on where you are based, how many people you’d like to train and what programme you choose. No other training company has our credentials or experience – but we always benchmark our prices and value for money is guaranteed. Our open courses start at £99 + VAT for individuals and our e-learning course start at just £30+ VAT.
How many people can attend an in-house course?
An open course usually has a ceiling of 16 delegates. In-house courses can be tailored to suit the team. We’ve worked with teams of 4 up to 250! Just ask us.
Where are the courses held?
To keep costs down we usually come and deliver this workshop at your office or workspace. If you want to get offsite and have the budget, we love Wallace Space’s individual and creative training spaces, all over central London. We travel all over the UK and abroad to deliver our workshops. We can also of course deliver via Zoom and have current clients in APAC and North America.
Do you have any creativity training that is not classroom-based?
Yes! We’re all familiar with the fact that we have great ideas when we’ve stopped thinking about the problem and gone off and done something else. So we’ve created the Creative Safari – a way to take a little time out from your day-to-day for deliberate creative thought. It’s our take on a dérive: problem-solving and learning by walking about in a group, talking, watching, getting lost and wandering – a dérive in French literally means “drifting”. It is a technique of getting lost in a city and allowing your unconscious mind time to problem-solve. This immersive experience encourages you to look up and out and use the city for inspiration. We can tailor the Safari to your challenge if you’d prefer a little more direction – we’ve been to The Design Museum, Borough Market, The Tate as well as specialist retail stores and the streets of London, Antwerp & Lisbon. Contact us for details.
What are your academic credentials?
Our founder Claire Bridges was awarded an MSc in Creativity, Innovation and Leadership from City University London in March 2015 (now Bayes).
