the institute for applied creativity

A FUNKY GROOVE. Universally recognized as the primary ingredient of progress and growth, human creativity is often misunderstood. Too often, organizations that desperately need to harness innovation to achieve their goals fall short and miss the mark, largely because they lack a systematic approach to manage, apply, and expand the natural resource of creativity. Our renegade group of entrepreneurs, inventors, musicians, business leaders, researchers, authors, and academics are committed to changing the way organizations ignite, harness, and then apply creativity. When imagination meets rigor and discipline meets dreaming, creativity can be applied to nearly any organizational challenge with explosive power. Let us help you expand creative capacity to fuel sustainable growth and achievement OUR WHY. As human beings, we are hard-wired for creativity. Yet rigid schooling, ruthless bosses, and punishing societal pressures systematically extinguish our creative flames. The Institute for Applied Creativity exists solely to solve this problem. Blending experience from art, science, research, and business, our passionate team works to understand, harness, and apply creativity toward productive outcomes. We help organizations out-punch the competition and achieve their full potential by unleashing a systematic approach to building creative organizations. When directed thoughtfully, creativity becomes the most powerful tool to solve our most complex and pressing challenges. Lab coats. Think reading glasses. Complex software code. Saxophone reeds. We leverage a wildly diverse set of tools, minds, and resources to achieve a steady and predictable flow of high-impact creative solutions. Expanding creative capacity by just 5% in an organization can be transformational, yielding triple-digit results. Thought-leaders and facilitators; dreamers and doers. We live to help you elevate the world through applied creativity.
