IGNITING THE
INNOVATION ENGINE

A CREATIVITY MASTERCLASS

flecha inferior

An inspiring 4-hour masterclass on the relationship between fear, risk, courage, vulnerability and how routine behaviours are the enemy of creativity and innovation.

Every organisation recognises that creativity and innovation are the fuel that will drive their engine to success. The problem is that most organisations fail in catalysing this creativity, and so the innovation funnel runs dry. If we are to push established boundaries, challenge norms and solve problems in new ways then we must change our approach. We must avoid routine thinking, and it starts with the individual.

Habit & Routine are the enemy of creativity, yet most of us sit at the same desk, in the same role, surrounded by the same people every day. If we are to truly engage with problems in new ways, to surpass our personal and professional capabilities, we need to learn to break the routine. This masterclass shows us how.

We need to learn to rewire how we think and act, to build a culture of creativity from the ground up. There will always be personal and professional disruption. The difference between being a victim and victor is in your response and attitude to such changes. Agility is less about speed and more about having the courage and vulnerability to change direction.

Creativity is a muscle, and like any other, wastes away if not used regularly. This masterclass explores the essence of creativity, the relationship between risk and reward, and examines the attributes that define success when it comes to disruption. Using a blend of lectures, demonstrations, games, and dynamic exercises with the audience, theory and practice merge.

This is an ideal session for any team to truly catalyse a new way of working, and to break free from the chains of convention. The content is highly entertaining, motivating, and inspiring. It has lit a fuse among hundreds of thousands globally who have heard its message, either live or through Ken’s TED Talk on the subject.

There can be no reward without risk, no gain without sacrifice, no courage without fear. We explore the link between risk, resilience, fear, and success and seek to understand the role play, creativity and intelligence have to achieve innovative thinking.

Testimonials

_Successful athletes train and learn set routines to perform in unison on the pitch. But success often lies in the gap, the space beyond. In this session with the Irish Rugby Team, athletes were inspired around creativity in the everyday.
