Designed by UTS’s award-winning, global leaders in creative intelligence, this 6-week Creative Intelligence Catalyser course will propel your innovative practice to new heights, taking you through 24 creative tools and practices to add to your innovation toolkit.
With content drawn from the UTS TD School’s ground-breaking Master of Creative Intelligence and Strategic Innovation program, this microcredential will introduce you to new and novel approaches that will reinvigorate and reenergise the way you generate, discover and explore new ideas, insights and solutions (as well as uncover blind spots).
Over six weeks, you will examine cutting-edge insights drawn from a diverse range of professional domains, including fields such as creative arts and neuroscience, to inform and fortify the creative capability of both individuals and collectives. Using this unique transdisciplinary approach, you are encouraged to cultivate a culture of curiosity, experimentation, playfulness and inventiveness while developing analytical, sensemaking and creative practices.
You will also develop skills for communication and advocacy of new approaches, concepts and ideas to stakeholders; a critical step in innovation adoption.
Delivered in a series of weekly, highly interactive, online workshops (meet virtually face-to-face in real time) by leading practitioner Dr Barbara Doran, Creative Intelligence Catalyser will unleash your creative capability to forge new, inventive solutions to the most complex challenges.
Mastering structured approaches to develop innovative, creative solutions to complex challenges is an increasingly valuable skill in any professional context or industry.
This course will provide you with invaluable tools to catalyse personal and collective creative capacities, augmented by a suite of sought-after tools and resources that can be adapted and expanded into future professional contexts. Supportive collegial networks (creative kin) will be nourished along with new ways of being a changemaker.
This microcredential aligns with the 3 credit point subject, Creative Practices and Methods (94710) in the Master of Creative Intelligence and Strategic Innovation. This microcredential may qualify for recognition of prior learning at this and other institutions.
Whatever field you are in – whether you’re working in a professional role in a corporation or in the public sector, are experienced in accelerators and start-ups, or are working in the creative industries – using creative approaches to drive innovation is a highly valued skillset that crosses all industries.
This course is suitable for all people, even those who don’t identify as ‘creative’. The methods and practices covered in the content will help you find and develop your creative muscle and thereby transform your innovation practice.
