Creativity is the most important Leadership quality today
The Business Value of Design & Creative Leadership
If you want to be able to make Change happen, you need to establish a Culture of Innovation at your company. You need to know how to enable disruptive thinking and which tools and processes can support you: This is what we call Creative Leadership which is based on the concept of building collaborative teams to develop innovative ideas.
The most successful Leaders practice and encourage experimentation and innovation throughout their organizations. They take more risks, create new ideas and keep innovating in how they lead their teams. The most successful organizations co-create products and services with their customers and integrate them into core processes.
With The School we give Leaders, Decision Makers, Product Owners and digital Experts a foundational understanding of how to become a Creative Leader. We invite you to user our tried-and-true approach to solve big business challenges, the tools you need and the Innovation process you need to implement.

During and after our experienced-based learning programs and courses you learn how to gather customer insights using different tried and true methods as Design Thinking (IDEO) and Design Sprints (Google) for product/service innovation. You understand the value of a fast-paced, iterative development process and its impact to continuously drive towards a successful product/service. You build your own toolkit to become a Change-Maker at your own company.
