PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Leading for a Creative Employee Culture

Presenter:

Carl P Maertz, Ph.D.

Creativity and innovation are considered key factors for achieving a sustained organizational competitive advantage in today’s economy. Many OD practitioners are challenged with designing, implementing, and evaluating methodologies that enable organizations to adapt, create, and innovate.

We know individual employees play a critical role in organizational innovation. For this reason, there is a need to create a climate that fosters idea generation and creative thinking. Today more than ever, cultivating creativity from those employees who are not necessarily expected or required to be creative is becoming an increasingly clear imperative.

This session will enable you to:

  • Discover key insights drawn from a panel of researchers and practitioners at Saint Louis University’s recent “Leading for Creativity” conference.
  • Acquire tools that enable managers to improve and facilitate creativity in their employees across jobs and workplace contexts.
