In this second episode revisiting our “Skill-Kit” series for listeners as we come out the pandemic, we look at the area of ideas generation and experimentation. How is innovation best done, maximising creativity, and is this an area where collaborating with others should be a key goal? Also, where are the boundaries between ‘creativity’ and ‘risk’, and how could we think about those two aspects? All three episodes will provide our ideas, perspectives, and some practical approaches to try.

They give practical ways to increase creativity as you work towards a wider goal. See how far you can go with a creative mind-set, and be persistent, continuing to explore – perhaps part of the original idea will stick and become a great new way of doing things!
