Jamming: Art and Discipline of Managing Creativity

 Jamming training workshop with DVD, featuring John Kao (Harvard & Stanford lecturer and author) demolishes the myth that creativity cannot be fostered within the corporate environment.  We see how high performance companies have learned the lessons of creativity to leap ahead of obsolete competitors.   

 

In this film featuring, IDEO, SENCO and Coca Cola, Kao compares the creative process to jamming in jazz.  Just as muscians improvise in a "jam session" a group of business people can take an idea, brainstorm and produce an entirely new set of possibilities.

 

What value does your company put on creativity?   It's not just media and high- tech companies that have to invest in the creative minds of their employees: every organization must make creativity a top priority in order to last beyond the next reporting period. 

 

This film shows actual brainstorming sessions- a perfect how to for teams new to the creative idea producing sessions, problem solving flush out sessions and more.  Training film length is 25 minutes.
