Masterclass overview
The primary objective of this masterclass is to equip employees who attend with the ability to be able to contribute creatively to the organisation and to inspire the rest of the employees by how easily creativity and innovation can be inculcated in the workplace. The session starts with the big picture of the value of innovation in the workplace and then we work ourselves down to creativity in an organisation, and end up with how we can develop our own creative skills. We will move from big picture to small and personal, from listening to participating.
