Introduction to the course
Creativity is no longer a nice to have. Economic achievement is only possible if employees entering into the economic marketplace are able to generate income, increase the profit margins and the economy’s GDP. This ability does not depend on knowing a finite collection of facts acquired passively, but on the ability to generate multiple solutions, think for yourself, and understand how to make the right choices. Only organisations who tap into the creative potential available to them can compete in the real world.
