Description:

This talk will explore how to tap creativity in your business – any business, whatever the sector. If you think creativity is just for artists or people who are self-expressive, it’s hard to see how creativity applies generically to business. At KILN, our view on creativity is that it is broader. We see creativity as problem solving in the broadest sense. With this lens, we all possess creative problem-solving abilities. In this talk we’ll focus on the behaviours that tap into – and even amplify – those creative problem-solving abilities. These are behaviours that can be observed, learned and rehearsed. Best of all, they can be applied in business settings – without loosening your necktie or swapping your shoes. This talk promises a dose of enjoyable learning that can tangibly change what you choose to do next in your working life.

Speaker: Kate Hammer is a commercial storyteller who created StoryFORMs  a new tool for forging and using stories in business contexts.

KILN provides trend intelligence in 3-dimensional forms to companies and teaches the Osborn-Parnes Creative Problem (CPS) Solving framework within companies of all sizes and at universities internationally.
