Discover how to use proven tools and techniques, such as the VIEW assessment and the Situational Outlook Questionnaire (SOQ), to maximize the impact of leadership and team dynamics to drive innovation and sustainable growth.
The creative process is much more than simply generating innovative ideas during brainstorming sessions. Although idea generation is an essential first step, scientific research shows that the true success of creative initiatives is determined by a systematic approach that extends from concept development to full implementation. This holistic approach requires a structured process in which both idea generation and implementation are purposefully facilitated and supported.
In this section you will find blog articles related to dir creative process. Creativity is positioned as an integrated part of organizational development and growth, rather than as an isolated process.
Problem-solving styles are natural, ingrained preferences on which individuals instinctively approach and solve problems, scientifically measurable through the VIEW assessment. There is a clear difference between this natural preference and actual behavior: the style is not a rigid straightjacket, but a starting point from which individuals can, with awareness and practice, modify their behavior and develop cognitive flexibility.
In this section of insights, you will find articles that describe problem-solving styles as a means of developing crucial cognitive flexibility – the ability to consciously switch between thinking styles depending on the context. Problem-solving styles are the building blocks for adaptive, learning and resilient teams that not only solve problems more effectively, but are also better prepared for the continuous changes of the modern world, leading to measurable benefits such as faster adaptation, more innovative solutions and stronger risk management.
Organizational climate, the daily experienced and observable working atmosphere within an organization, is fundamental and acts as a direct driver of innovation and change. Unlike the entrenched and slowly changing organizational culture, climate is more quickly and directly influenced by leadership behaviors and management practices. This makes it a powerful strategic tool. Scientific research, including with the Situational Outlook Questionnaire (SOQ), shows that a positive climate, characterized by dimensions such as challenge, freedom, trust, idea time and risk appetite, is essential for encouraging experimentation, idea sharing and calculated risk taking – all crucial elements for sustainable innovation and effectively navigating change.
In this section, you will find articles around a consciously cultivated organizational climate. Elements that will be covered include the impact on employee engagement and well-being, psychological safety and intrinsic motivation.
Do you recognize the frustration of brainstorming sessions that get bogged down in chaos, endless discussions without concrete results, or a lack of true creativity? What if you had the key to radically change these dynamics and unlock the full innovation potential of your teams?
In our series of blog articles on Creative Problem Solving (CPS) process coaching, we dive deep into the science and art of facilitating real breakthroughs. Discover how a certified CPS process facilitator acts as a “process architect,” using proven methods such as the CPS 6.1 framework to not only create structure and psychological safety, but also help teams generate up to 400-600% more ideas.
In an era of constant change and increasing complexity, the question arises: what really makes a leader effective? Is it a specific style, charisma, or something more fundamental?
Our series of blog articles on leadership dives deeper than traditional models to reveal how the most successful leaders become masters of creating an optimal organizational climate rather than perfecting a style. Discover how, as a “climate architect,” you can consciously shape the nine crucial dimensions of an innovative work environment – from challenge and freedom to trust and idea support.
We explore the power of facilitative leadership and the seven core competencies that transform teams from good to great. These articles provide you with the insights and practical tools to not only lead, but to create a context where innovation, resilience and sustainable success become natural.
