In today's workplace, change is occurring at an ever-increasing rate. In order to be successful in a climate of change, organizations must be able to foster an environment where collaboration and new ideas are not only safe, but expected. In this seminar you'll have a chance to hear first hand about The Disney Approach to Organizational Creativity.

Disney's founder, Walt Disney, knew that Disney's success as a company relied on its ability to encourage innovative ideas and then support their development. At the Walt Disney World® Resort, not only is the creative process encouraged, it is managed to produce the maximum return on investment.

This program is designed to show you the business case for creativity. Session facilitators will use classroom sessions, application exercises and behind-the-scenes examples to present the viability of a corporate culture where the creative process thrives and produces profitable products and services.

Discover how to:

  • Foster a collaborative environment that draws on the creative resources of your entire organization
  • Establish systems that help your leaders make decisions about new ideas
  • Focus your employees' creativity on the goals of your organization
  • Improve productivity by implementing new ideas generated in the creative process
