Creativity: the key to innovation, problem solving, motivation and progress
Creativity and creativity techniques are crucial for the success of projects. They promote innovative ideas that lead to unique solutions and products. Complex problems can be solved more efficiently through creative approaches, as unconventional ways of thinking open up new perspectives. Creativity also increases the motivation and commitment of the project teams, as it offers the opportunity to contribute their own ideas and actively participate in the design process. In addition, creativity helps to stand out from the competition and drive progress by constantly finding new ways to optimize and improve.
Important competencies in projects are:
- high conflict resolution and decision-making skills
- good leadership skills and knowledge of human nature, in order to lead successfully even without a technical supervisor function
- to assemble and develop teams correctly
- good communication across all channels and stakeholders (towards client and customer, steering committee, stakeholders, team members, etc.)
- High level of facilitation skills for kick-off workshops, milestone meetings and strategy sessions, etc.
The best standards, the most innovative environment do not bring the desired success if employees do not have the appropriate know-how. Participants learn this in the practice-oriented ML-spectrum trainings.
