About this course
What you will learn
Whatever your sector, creativity is a key driver for business success and is the lifeblood of many businesses. It’s debated, coveted, bragged about, awarded and misunderstood. There is a seemingly unrelenting requirement for it, as it is the route to new services, solutions, products, behaviour, sales, innovation and much more.
Join one of our Creative Leadership courses to focus on how to lead your business and your team to deliver creativity. Our next in-person programme will be in September 2023 in London and will include a blended learning element from coach Claire Bridges and her team. Guest speakers will feature, too.
The course covers creative thinking strategies designed to inspire others to back your vision and is aimed at business leaders, senior marketing and PR professionals and anyone else who is tasked with (or has been self-appointed to) steer the creative ship.
Skills
Your professional development
If you work for an agency in marketing, PR, advertising, experiential, design or digital, then you know the importance and value of leadership in creativity already. Creativity and innovation will no doubt be front and centre of your strategy and your value proposition – and a recurring theme in your conversations with clients.
If you work in-house, then you’ll be striving to bring the best creatively from your own team and your agency partners.
The World Economic Forum predicted many years ago that creativity would become one of the top three skills workers needed by 2020. Great ideas and solutions are still highly prized, and creativity is considered the most important leadership quality by global CEOs.
With the avalanche of new products, ideas, technologies, processes and ways of working that have entered everyday life, employees in every sector are going to have to become more creative in order to benefit from these changes. They need senior staff to show them the way: someone responsible for promoting creativity, developing a creative mindset in teams, using new processes, ensuring a steady flow of new ideas and bringing skills like Design Thinking and problem-solving into the workplace.
They need a creative leader.
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
A two-day leadership event, pre and post study, and a webinar, with optional add-ons. The focus of this residential is leadership in the context of creativity and getting the best from yourself, your people and creating a culture of creativity – led by Claire.
