About the Creatrix™ 

 

  • Are you fed up with Leadership and Innovation tools that seem fun and valuable at the time but the culture of the organization remains? Or tools are not being put to best effect?
  • Want to find the key to successful innovation?
  • Need to find the lever that builds the capacity for change & innovation, in individuals, teams and organization's?

The Creatrix™ innovation inventory is the only approach to innovation that recognizes the importance of innovative capacity in both the organization and its individuals.

To our knowledge the Creatrix™ is the only innovation instrument/ inventory that focuses on the behaviours required for an organization to become more innovative, rather than just a creative technique or individual capability.  The process ensures accessibility to practical innovation for all organization's.

The Creatrix™ approach is unique in that it looks at the behavioural capability of individuals, teams and organization's, rather than skills and techniques.

Innovation can be a team result -

not just the ability of one individual

Listen to an audio interview with the author

A powerful message ...

A powerful method for today's companies using a behaviorally based change management framework.

We challenge the current assumptions about Creativity and Risk Taking:

  • We all are creative - it's not only the artists and writers
  • We all can take risks - it's not only the thrill seekers

Today's companies need to tap into and develop the power of individual, team, and organizational creativity and risk taking to accelerate innovation.

 

Capacity for Change and Innovation

Having worked for many organization's over the years, we have come to recognize that innovation is more than just a process, or indeed an attitude. It is a style that is a factor of leadership and team working.

It is that unique combination of factors which enable change and new ways of thinking.

It is about having the right mix of attitudes, skills and processes for the particular phase of an organization's life cycle or product range.

The Creatrix Innovation Inventory uses a unique blend called the Innovation Equation:

 

Innovation = Creativity * Risk Taking

 

Activated by the DRIVERS of innovation necessary to enable real Action. The seven Drivers of innovation are listed below.

Growing and Developing Leadership

Using the drivers listed below not only adds value by developing a culture of innovation, the creatrix is a great tool to develop leadership capability.  For leaders to be effective they must recognise the strengths other bring to the team. The Creatrix is a simple tool to provide both a development framework and a common language for success. Some users of the Creatrix use the model to represent leadership.  A strong leaders needs access to ideas (creativity) and the ability to deliver results (risk taking). Thus the Creatrix is an ideal tool to develop leadership skills.

Accelerating Innovation

Creativity is the ability to produce unconventional ideas, and when we are facing difficult challenges we need new ideas most.

Isn't it under the most difficult times, when we are under the most challenging stresses, that we need those new ideas that can change or alter the path and redirect our energies?

The Creatrix Innovation Inventory takes the concepts of creativity, risk taking and innovation and makes them understandable and concrete.

Individuals, teams, organisation's can increase their innovative capacity by using their own knowledge of their creativity and risk-taking orientation and their results on the seven drivers of creativity and risk taking.

Learn about your personal orientation toward innovation by taking the Creatrix™ Innovation Inventory.
