The Challenge:

Amidst an era where technology presents unparalleled challenges to human capability, creativity emerges as a crucial skill in the HR leaders’ arsenal. However, building and fostering a creative workforce can be difficult. This is particularly challenging when time and resource constraints push leaders to focus on the status quo rather than trying something new. How do HR leaders overcome these challenges in order to build creative capacity in their organisation, a culture that will support it, and ultimately drive business success?
