UNACOV Webinar Replay Who Killed Creativity & How to Get it Back
We need to be creative to be innovative. But the relentless push to innovate faster is producing a toxic culture that may undermine the whole creative process. In our rush for end results fast, we could ironically be killing the very thing that will lead us to innovation: creativity. Creativity and innovation are not interchangeable words, and it’s important for effective businesses to understand why. In this session, we explore why we need both and the paradoxes behind this that can impact our work.
Innovation is key for organizational transformation - but to prepare for innovation there needs to be both a culture of creativity (at the organization level) and creative thinking mindset and skill development (at the personal level). There are no shortcuts, and this is why many companies that only focus on embracing design thinking, agile, digital, and other innovation activities & tools (such as innovation labs, hackathons, sprints, scrum, and design thinking models) often fail.
This fireside chat with Andrew Grant and Dr. Gaia Grant (the authors of several books including: “ Who killed creativity? and how can we get it back? And “The Innovation Race”) will focus on the potential psychological and neurological blocks to critical and creative thinking, and the practical process leaders can engage in with practical strategies to achieve more innovative results in themselves, their team, and their organization.

Creating New Leader for the VUCA World - A AIM Unacov Fireside Chat (19 Sep 20)
Free preview
“Cometh the Hour, Cometh the Man” is a phrase that has evolved over centuries to describe the observation that, often, the right leader emerges from the crowd to suit the challenge at hand.
Yet, clearly, it doesn’t always happen.
So what education, morality, and emotional intelligence give society the best chance to spawn good leaders when they are needed?
We explored the phenomenal changes that have occurred - even in the last six months - to what is needed in new leadership:
- The skills of managing people working from home, often part-time, unsupervised
- The pressure exerted by a pandemic raging through the world
Handling slippery supply chains that are whimsically upset by political decisions
- Rewarding a workforce getting daily offers of alternative jobs
- Making the disciplines of sustainability and diversity coexist with law and order
- Educating all employed people in technology, regulatory compliance, compatibility
