Speaking Topic
Creativity Answers the Unknown
The world is changing at such a pace that the unknown is the new normal. The organizations that thrive in a rapidly changing world will not necessarily be the ones with the most resources or the fewest constraints. They will be the ones that know how to think differently when the familiar answers no longer work.
In this immersive talk, Rhona reveals not simply how creativity happens, but how leaders can unlock it, focus it and put it to work against real organizational challenges. Experience how to turn uncertainty, complexity and constraint from barriers into catalysts for new possibilities that create meaningful value for the organization and the customers it serves.
You can’t keep demanding certainty from the unknown.
Audiences walk away with:
Uncertainty becomes navigable.
When policy, precedent, data or familiar methods no longer resolve the problem, people can orient to personal and organizational standards, then use the Creative Intelligence OS to exercise judgment and create a viable way forward.
The relationship between the person and the organization becomes more valuable.
People connect their values, judgment and particular contribution with what the organization genuinely values and is trying to create, giving them something meaningful to create from and the organization more of their actual capability to create with.
Leaders become better able to support and direct what their people can create.
Leaders see how environments, structures, habits and experiences shape creative expression, then design conditions that expand creative capability and direct it toward what the organization genuinely values and needs.
