IBMs 2010 Global CEO Study
found that of 1500 CEOs surveyed, the majority believe the key to navigating
todays volatile, uncertain and increasingly complex business environment is
creativity. The ability to instil creativity throughout an organisation
was rated as more crucial than rigor, management, discipline, integrity or even
vision as a means to future success.
It will present a diverse and
provocative range of keynotes, panel discussions, case studies and
interventions that will explore questions such as:
- Is creativity
really being more sought after now than ever and if so, why? - How does the
corporate sector value creativity and vice versa? - What are the pros
and cons of government intervention in cultivating creativity?
