1 Understanding creativity and innovation
Like it or not, the world is changing – and changing fast. In many areas of life the old certainties are no more, and new solutions to old, new and future problems are needed.

Moreover, in high-wage economies, they have had to become creative enough to add value through continual innovation. For this, organisations, more than ever before, are relying on the creativity and innovation of the people they work with, whether employees, contractors, or volunteers.
