In November 2017, InnovatorsBox® facilitated a 90 minute meeting with the departmental leadership team of approximately 12-15 people on creative culture development. We created an open and honest environment for the team to explore how they felt about a creative culture and how they can tackle building one of their own. During the meeting, we used SPARK cards and interactive exercises to thoroughly explore their challenge statement and how they can work together to address it.
After the facilitated meeting, the team members increased their socialization on a personal and professional level in order to create a stronger team. They continue to use SPARK cards and different creative exercises in meetings to create stronger ideas and connections with one another. In addition to this, the team is more comfortable in respecting and exploring the ideas of others as they work across different personalities and physical locations. Since the initial November 2017 meeting, there has been an ongoing conversation about a longer-term engagement to continue building a creative work culture.
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.
