John Evans on Creativity Residential Workshop

In response to great interest and demand, the OUBS is pleased to announce a Creativity Residential Workshop, taking place on Friday 14 – Saturday 15 June, at Milton Hill House, Abingdon, Oxfordshire. Our final programme is detailed below and includes the full details of the course, being led by Elvin Box, Associate Director of Mace Ltd, long standing MBA tutor for the OUBS and specialist in creativity, innovation and change; and John Evans, an independent management consultant and OUBS tutor for the past fourteen years, specialising in creativity, innovation and strategy. Included are

A masterclass in ‘Creative thinking’ from Dr Jane Henry
Guest lecture from Lesley-Ann Jones, award-winning journalist and author with over 20 years’ experience working creatively in the entertainment industry
An NLP session from Martin Eldon
Improvise your Creativity and Pop-Up Creativity from Elvin Box
An update on Thinking, Brains and Talent from John Evans
An Alumni perspective, from Phil Parvin

With a blend of lecturer and guest led sessions, and group workshop activities, this two day residential course seeks to provide participants with an understanding of the factors that help and hinder creativity and innovation; appreciate the value of creative approaches to business problems and evaluate how they can enhance creativity within their own professional environments.

The course has been designed to offer both a ‘refresher’ of the former B822 Creativity module and to also explore new developments in the field and current practise updates with specialist presentations – as such the workshop is suitable and welcomes those who may or may not have completed the former B822 course.

We look forward to seeing you there!
