Creativity is widely recognised as one of the most important skills for the future of work. This is evident in publications by organisations such as the World Economic Forum (WEF), McKinsey, and Sitra. The future is already here. Creative thinking takes place not only in individuals' minds, but also in communities, arising from interaction between different people and environmental factors.

Alongside the ability to transform and adapt, creativity is recognised as a vital skill for individuals and groups in the working world. At its best, individual creativity expands into shared creativity. This generates new ideas and solutions for navigating the ever-changing currents of everyday life.

Creative thinking enables growth and development in working life. Space and resources are needed to develop entirely new approaches, models and practices, and to encourage interaction between people. All of this promotes shared creativity.

When shared, creativity enriches work and everyday processes, opening up new opportunities.

Creativity, conscious presence, playfulness and play are all interconnected. Together, they produce something new. Playfulness and collaboration can inspire and invigorate teams and organisations. Mindfulness skills enable us to pause and recognise what is important, allowing new insights and ideas to emerge.

Creativity is one of the most important forces of social change. In an ever-changing world, creativity can be seen as a strategic challenge. This requires quick and creative solutions. However, such solutions do not arise only spontaneously.

We created the Ajattelun avartajat™ method to encourage more thoughtful processes. The cards work best when used together as tools for fostering shared creativity. We recommend starting with a facilitated workshop.
