Creativity as a job skill is more than the use of imagination or the origination of new ideas, it’s applying creative methodologies and using the science of creativity to drive innovation in any number of areas, including the design of experiences that matter for businesses. While creativity is a combination of genetics and experience, it is likely more of the latter, which means that if we practice creativity, we can build proficiency for using it more meaningfully at work. As meeting professionals seek to explore how their organization’s portfolio of meetings impacts growth and goal achievement, creativity will become an all-more critical skill for designing consequential experiences that matter. Join us for this exploration of creativity and discover key ways you can more thoughtfully apply and practice it as a meeting professional of the future.
