There is not the
creative and the non-creative: there is only with or without techniques to be
creative.
Years of
developing theatrical concepts and events taught me to develop techniques to
open doorways to creativity. I started working these concepts in groups and
found out that you can achieve wonderful results in a short time.
Creativity is a
very interesting domain for the investigators of the human psyche. The basis of
my work can be found in the works of Lateral Thinking (Edward de Bono), Flow (Csikszentmihalyi)
and the NLP modelling of creative genius in the 80s and 90s.
There are three
arts in creative development; the art of putting a team together, the art of
leading the process and the art of putting the results into practice. Coaching
creativity is coaching the three.
A modern
enterprise needs swift results and for this often repeats the use of external
experts. This is not necessary; once installed the techniques should become
common practice which is only updated once in a while.
Our work begins by
doing it; analysis of the goal, forming the team, making the planning, and
executing the work. In a maximum of 5 sessions the creative team will be ready
with their first task and for all next that follow.
