At Creative Sage™, we often use dynamic, interactive arts processes, along with other innovation methods, to engage our clients and members of their work teams in meeting their business goals by enhancing their creativity, communication, and collaboration skills. The arts can be very powerful in reaching people’s emotions in a positive way, and making the workplace a more vibrant, engaging environment.
If you would like to find out more about why and how we use the arts — “analog” and digital — integrated with other processes in our innovation programs for a variety of organizations in different industries, please contact us by email, or call us at 1-510-845-5510.
Along these lines, at the Silicon Valley Innovation Institute’s Wednesday, May 2nd dinner program, the topic will be exploring the role of rapid iteration in music, the arts, software development, medical devices, project management, business operations, collaboration, and more. Come join us in person, if you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area, or online at our social networks — or afterward, via video recap!
Speaking of indulging your senses…perhaps you woke up this morning to the cacophony of sparrows and blue jays sporting their morning song, felt the cozy weight of that silk-wrapped comforter coaxing you to linger, saw the red LEDs of your digital clock, indicating two hours until that morning meeting (to close the deal of your lifetime!), smelled the aroma of organically grown coffee in the kitchen, and finally climbed out of bed, succumbing to the thought of savoring a breakfast of fresh fruit and lowfat Greek yogurt, along with a side of French toast made from freshly baked, multi-grain, nut and seed bread.
Perhaps you created something life-changing today.
Everyday, we respond to the stimuli of our five senses. We feel, we take in, we respond, and we participate. What does our natural instinct to respond to the world around us have to do with the innovation process?
Join SVII for a stimulating evening to explore these multi-faceted questions:
How can rapid iteration be used to enhance our individual projects, and what kind of tools can make this possible?
How can problem-solving theories apply to both software that manages the complexities of change management and to artistic endeavors?
We will explore the role of rapid iteration in music, the arts, software development, medical devices, project management, business operations, collaboration, and more. As the SVII name implies, YOU will play a critical role in setting the agenda!

Please note: Although we’ve been posting advance announcements about Silicon Valley Innovation Institute programs for the past few years, we originally started doing so because at that time, SVII did not publish its own blog, and the organization was just beginning to use social networks to further its community discussions. Now, however, SVII has its own blog and a strong social presence, so we may change our approach to publishing the organization’s program announcements here on this blog.
We are also currently testing an exciting new innovation process for our own company, Creative Sage™, so you may see some of this reflected in content changes on our web site and blogs in the coming year. Stay tuned…we’ll announce any significant editorial or policy changes well in advance.
We greatly appreciate the support of our readers in the Creative Sage™ Community. Your questions, comments and suggestions are always welcome!
