The Business Advantage of Embracing Human Creativity
As business owners, leaders, and managers, our technical success depends on a solid team
where the individuals and the team grow their technical skills and knowledge. However, we may
overlook ensuring everyone leans into their creative abilities. Creativity, having that new idea or a
different angle on an old problem, fuels innovation.
Join us for our keynote on practical ways to foster creativity, individually and collectively, on
your team. We'll begin with a few success stories and a quick recap of the three essential
steps of the human creativity process: input, incubate, and ideate. (We recommend watching the
TEDx talk on Engineering Creativity on Demand if you are unfamiliar with this process.)
Then, we dive into particular practices you can incorporate into your daily workflow.
Simple changes to regular meetings, brainstorming sessions, and coaching can
significantly impact your team's ability to create and innovate.
We will close with a few questions and continue the conversation in several breakout sessions that will follow.
