About the Creative Scene Investigation Program Suite
Unlock Creative Thinking for Breakthrough Innovation & Business Transformation
Creativity is the foundation of innovation, yet the relentless pressure to innovate faster is creating a toxic culture that stifles the creative process rather than nurturing it. Ironically, in the rush for rapid results, organizations risk killing the very thing that drives innovation: creativity.
This suite of programs (keynote, workshop, gamified simulations and business facilitation) is designed to help businesses:
✅ Identify and eliminate creative barriers that hinder breakthrough ideas.
✅ Implement practical creative thinking strategies for sustainable innovation.
✅ Leverage design thinking processes effectively—avoiding common pitfalls.
By fostering a culture of creativity, organizations can enhance problem-solving, inspire innovation, and achieve long-term success in an increasingly competitive landscape.
Why Creativity Is Essential for Business Growth
In today’s fast-changing business environment, creativity is more than a skill—it’s a strategic necessity for organizations looking to stay ahead of disruption.
- Creativity fuels innovation, enabling businesses to develop groundbreaking solutions and adapt to evolving markets.
- Cultural transformation is a prerequisite for innovation—organizations must build a creativity-first culture before implementing new systems.
- Creative thinking mindsets and skill development are crucial at the individual and organizational levels to ensure innovation thrives.
Many companies focus only on design thinking but fail to embed a true innovation strategy, leading to ineffective outcomes. Businesses that embrace creativity-driven leadership gain the agility to navigate disruption, drive meaningful change, and accelerate growth.
The unique Diagnostic & Developmental approach
Diagnose: The gamified board session focuses on the potential psychological and neurological blocks to critical and creative thinking. Along with an optional CQ assessment, this is an interactive diagnostic session designed to provoke an engaging discussion about the potential blocks to critical and creative thinking. We recommended it is done prior to embarking on any design thinking learning/project.
Develop: The Creative + Critical Thinking sessions. This includes the Strategies for Innovative Development (SID) model, which provides a great foundation for design thinking for those looking for an easy-to-use practical model to solve challenging problems. The suite continues to build with the aid of creative thinking and systemizing innovation & processes teams. This connects all the crucial elements and results in successful outcomes.

Flagship Keynote from this CREATIVE THINKING suite
The AI Creative Challenge: Do we need to learn to be creative now that AI can do it for us?
Equipping Leadership Teams for AI-Driven Success:
The World Economic Forum continues to emphasize creative and critical thinking as essential leadership skills—even as AI transforms industries.
In the age of intelligent technology, it will be important to learn to drive efficiency without sacrificing creativity or losing the human spark. As AI redefines problem-solving and innovation, it raises crucial questions about how human creativity can remain relevant. The challenge remains: Will AI kill creativity or enhance it? How can leaders strike the right balance between AI and human contribution when tackling wicked problems in projects requiring Creative Intelligence and Design Thinking?
In this keynote and/or workshop session, participants are invited to explore the evolving relationship between AI and creative thinking, offering strategic insights on how leaders can leverage AI without losing control of ingenuity and innovation. The practical AI Creativity Utilization Dial is introduced as a tool for identifying how and when to incorporate AI in the creative thinking process.
Andrew Grant &/or Dr. Gaia Grant won’t just help you use AI—they’ll show you how to harness it to supercharge creative thinking and tackle wicked problems with greater precision and efficiency.
Key Takeaways & Talking Points
- Maximize creativity without losing control – learn when to integrate AI while maintaining human ingenuity, creativity and ensuring alignment with strategic goals
- Use AI for better results in creative & design thinking through understanding how AI can collaborate with human thought processes, tackling complex challenges and wicked problems that defy simple solutions
- Practice using the AI Creativity Utilization Dial for identifying how to lead innovation in specific contexts
