Online Course Description:
Creativity
and innovation are not one and the same. Creativity is the
generation of new ideas by individuals and teams. Innovation is the
process of converting those ideas into new products, business
practices, and strategies that create value.
Its
a meaningful distinction because creativity needs to be translated
into something concrete for it to generate value. Protecting and
nurturing new ideas, and bringing them to fruition, is the basis of
innovation. That innovation takes place in and through
organizations making it more complex.
Leaders
of organizations of all sizes and types hope to encourage
creativity in their employees. Eliciting creative and innovative
ideas within a group, team, or organization has become a crucial
skill. The ability of leaders to nurture and protect new ideas is
vital to the health of the organization.
