7.9.3 Art for Work’s Sake: The benefits of creativity in the workplace
Workplace Trends Research Spring Summit, 2018 • 31m
With Doug Shaw, The Consulting Artist
IBM interviewed 1,500 CEOs across 60 nations. 60% of the respondents believe creativity is the most important quality to have in business.
PWC interviewed 1,379 CEOs in 2017, almost a quarter see innovation as their top priority in the coming year. The challenge they face is how to cultivate it.
This session explores the benefits of creativity at work, why sustaining creative culture can be challenging, and how we can overcome those challenges.
Doug: I am an artist, people and organisational development consultant. Since 2009 I’ve worked with people and organisations in the private, public, and not for profit sectors across the world. Most of my work centres on helping redesign the employee and customer/service user experience to make it more effective. I often use the arts in my work, as a subjective lens through which to invite inquiry, and I run an award-winning community art project.
