The importance of creative and innovative thinking ability

Creatives are eager, want to develop quickly, add value and look beyond the dot on the horizon. That's the nature of the beast. The media landscape is fickle. Constantly changing. It requires agile organizations and leaders with creative, analytical, designing and innovative thinking skills who can anticipate. Skills that are becoming increasingly important to achieve and maintain an authentic, competitive position as an organization.

Start Learning outside the lines

Creatives kennen geen lineair carierepad. Soms werk je een half jaar hier en daarna jaren daar. Ervaring bouw je op door meters te maken en gave projecten te draaien. Het gaat er om dat je uiteindelijk de beste in je vak wordt, en de daarbij behorende verantwoordelijkheid kunt dragen.

Because creatives want to grow quickly and need variety, Versdenkers offers a workplace-independent learning path. You or your employer purchase a submodule. Each module represents a partial certificate. Maybe you work through a module at your current employer, the next at another job and finish it as an independent entrepreneur. 

The knife cuts both ways

Versdenkers assists organizations in developing and retaining the already present creative talent, by placing this talent in the Leading Creatives program. myself iInternal training takes a lot of time, depending on a mentors availability, the amount of projects, the creative level and their scope. Before an organization has trained talent to such an extent that they can take on the responsibility of a managerial position, there is a good chance that these creative talents have already disappeared. The Leading Creatives program keeps those talents on board and inspired.

Focus on Leadership

The Leading Creatives program focuses on increasing personal leadership skills. If creatives also want to increase their maker skills in addition to this program, they can register for many other, shorter-term training programs by Versdenkers.
