Overview
After assessing ways in which theories about perception and creativity could help us organise more effectively, attention turns to creating promising possibilities in an increasingly interconnected world. If we can create what’s needed, without being too wrong too often, we could amplify our ability to do things better.
You will learn
This Sustainable Creative Management module at The Open University UK aims to:
- help you understand how people’s personal styles might enable and constrain their ability to create promising possibilities
- introduce techniques that could help you create better ways of doing things
- examine the way in which inventive ideas are translated into sustainable innovations
- explain how we could learn from case studies of creativity in practice
- cultivate critical thinking about what makes sustainable creative management actually sustainable.

- where creativity comes from, including details of the latest research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience and artificial intelligence

- reflecting on why some things might be more advantageous than other things
- creating sustainable strategies
- assessing the advantages and disadvantages of virtual and face-to-face communication
