Radical Creativity in Business

How to transform a company into an innovation powerhouse

Whether it’s offering new services, crafting marketing campaigns, delighting customers, engaging employees, or finding new ways of solving old problems, creativity is the key to delivering amazing results.

“Creativity is one of the last remaining legal ways of gaining an unfair advantage over the competition.”

Ed McCabe

Radical creativity is about bringing original and unconventional thinking to meet challenges and seize opportunities. What I have learned over the last 25 years as an entrepreneur and C-suite executive is that creativity is absolutely critical for businesses that hope to achieve breakaway success.

The great news is that creativity is a capacity that individuals can develop – and I mean radically improved creativity in a very short amount of time. I have developed an engaging, powerful, and practical program to teach business leaders how to take their teams from creativity basics all the way to collaborative innovation powerhouses.

Effectively applying the newly learned techniques of radical creativity to these critical challenges will be an additional goal/deliverable of these longer format programs. You’ll learn exactly how to leverage radical creativity to meet real-world challenges.

Regardless of which package you choose for your company, a round of intake interviews with your key stakeholders will be conducted, prior to the workshop to define success and customize the program to meet your team’s specific needs.
