Conversation Date: 01/03/2024
We need new ideas! Creative thinking is now one of the top skills needed in the workforce, BUT creativity can only thrive with a culture of psychological safety and belonging. Intercultural Creativity creates that environment while developing creative thinking at the same time! This framework is backed by neuroscience and is relevant across sectors. Genein highlights the skills needed to improve creative thinking, which overlaps with the skills needed for cultural development. She discusses the hidden elements that will separate the most creative individuals from the masses in this next future of work.
