Innovative organizations mobilize the SOURCES of creativity in a well-designed STRUCTURE and within an appropriately shaped CULTUREIt is the skilful synthesis of 12 key drivers – Talent, Energy, Method, Individual, Team, Target, System, Ideas, Freedom, Engagement, Humor and Risk – that makes an organization innovative.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THESE WORKSHOPS

“Innovation has become a buzzword bandied about contemporary organizations but few know how to take innovation beyond window dressing. Dimis does. He provides us with concepts that animate and organize the transformation of creative ideas into innovative products and services, using original art as a powerful metaphor. "

David Magellan Horth, President of the Creative Education Foundation
 and Senior Faculty at the Center for Creative Leadership

"The Art of Innovation is fun. It's engaging. It uses significantly different modes of interaction. It is self-reflective. It shifted my perspective of myself and others. Everybody can be creative and innovative."

Diana Bing, Former Director, Enterprise Learning, IBM

"A workshop very different from our "normal" courses. I particularly liked the functionality, the excellent presentation skills and the Performa approach."

Chris Santis, Senior Partner, PricewaterhouseCoopers

"The value of the workshop is its systemic approach, the way it gives you real insights into what's going on inside your organization … I was amazed at how involved the people became in the process and how deeply they took it on board."

Brad Stackhouse, CEO, Stackhouse Garber Associates
