“If all the clouds in the sky melted into cotton candy, would they taste blue or pink?”
As kids we all tapped into our creative side by asking many questions (as above, no matter how bizarre), and usually without over-thinking. But as we grow older and life gets in the way sometimes, keeping in touch with the creative side of ourselves can prove challenging.
Our handpicked virtual events running across March and April will give you the opportunity to be more creative – whether it’s to benefit your work or personal life. From Artificial Intelligence, Technology, Marketing and Creativity in general – you’ll realise that the opportunities for development are endless.
Because exploring things from a different viewpoint along with being more innovative is crucial if we want to solve today’s problems and build a better future.

“In a global economy driven by rapid technological change, creativity at every level is fundamental… we need to be radically creative.” Robert Poynton, Founder, On Your Feet.
In uncertain times, it’s so important that we improve our creativity to shape our lives better. This workshop will enhance your creativity, help you understand what supports and weakens it, as well as the role others play.

March 25th – A Questionable Approach to Creativity
How do we set ourselves apart and still create great ideas?
Well, asking questions is key. Grayling’s session and the ‘questionable approach’ on creativity aims to put controversial and insightful questions at the centre. There aren’t any stupid questions. Questions spark curiosity and this leads to new ideas. New ideas create advantages.
This session will be two hours long and it will help you enhance your brainstorming skills, enabling you to achieve breakthrough thinking and become a radical new creative thinker.
Here’s what’s on the agenda:
- Why traditional brainstorms are a waste of time
- Why everyone needs to be a creative question asker, not just a creative problem solver
- What are the stages of our ‘Questionable Approach to Creativity’?
- What is Question Storming and Solution Storming?
