Creative Culture Building
A Fortune 500 Company in Telecommunications
Since starting the engagement in January 2018, participants are already taking steps to be more creative in the office. They’re bringing SPARK cards to meeting, socializing with coworkers, and being intentional about collaborating with others outside of their direct team. They’ve noted an increased comfort with understanding the opinions of others, asking more questions, and sharing processes within the office. It’s a powerful example of how changes occur slowly over time and InnovatorsBox® is excited for what the rest of 2018 has in store for this company.
In addition to these benefits, the staff learned the importance of emotional intelligence and creative thinking in their roles through the Mindful Play Workshop. The workshop helped the staff collaborate, network, learn about their colleagues, and move beyond their siloed work routines. It also helped them understand how they can serve their students better.
The introductory workshop helped the students learn the importance of networking and problem-solving in career development, and understand how it can help them navigate their career pursuits in a creative way. Overall, the workshops helped the participants gain an understanding on how they can be creative on their own, and in various environments and settings. As a result, the participants felt more empowered to take action in their professions, self-aware, confident, and excited about being creative.
