Creative Leadership Programme
The Creative Leadership: Setting the Stage for Innovation programme is complementary to other initiatives from the Centre for Creativity in Professional Practice at Bayes. It is designed to educate a new cadre of creative leaders who have intellectual resilience and can apply interdisciplinary approaches to progress creative solutions to the complex, ill-structured and dynamic challenges that we face today.

Consulting Creatively
We work closely with our partners at the Centre for Creativity enabled by AI (CebAI) to deliver training that can teach your teams how to improve their critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills and leave you with AI tools to support the ongoing application of these skills in every day situations.
If you seek to solve a current challenge in more creative ways, the Centre offers:
- Consultancy for Creative Leadership, Business Resilience and Creative Problem Solving Consultancy to enhance creative leadership, build business resilience, solve problems more creatively, and to apply more imaginative and effective design thinking. This consultancy partners with business colleagues at Perspectiv and the Work Psychology Group
- Adoption of Arts-Based Business Practice: Adoption of new forms of arts-based business practice, based on our research expertise in this area
These services can be both short-term engagements using our ready-to-apply solutions, and profound new collaborations that transform the nature of creative leadership.
Example: The Centre worked with a research-led multi-national business to reimagine future uses of electric vehicles in mid-sized German cities. It designed and facilitated bespoke multi-day creativity workshops in which the business’s technologists, designers, architects and transport engineers collaborated intensely to create future scenarios of more integrated electric transport systems – systems that had the potential to transform and minimise the environmental impact of mass transport solutions.
Consulting with us provides you and your firm access to the Centre’s community and partners:
- Creative Leaders in the C2P2 Community: Access to the Centre’s new generation of professional and global creative leaders
- Networking : Networking with the Centre’s community of members, partners and alumni
- Development of New Partnerships: Development of new partnerships with the Centre, using new funds from bodies including Innovate UK, Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs), Arts Council England and Research England
