Creative Development - Arts and Business working together

A new report entitled Creative Development - Arts and Business working together commissioned by Arts and Business UK is a unique body of work for those interested in the nexus between the application of arts based processes in businesses and organisations. Researched and written by Tim Stockil, founder of CI: Creative Intelligence, an Oxford trained theatre director who has moved extensively between business and the arts and the former Director, Creative Development Arts and Business UK, it offers comprehensive insights into which art forms - theatre, muisc, visual arts and storytelling - might best be suited to various business issues and why. Importantly, the latter part of the report provides some sharp advice on the cost and resource implications of using arts based training and development. The report above all else is practical. Its written style is highly accessible and well pitched at its target audience of managers working in HR and Training and Development.

Whether you are senior management or middle management though, this report is worth reading as background to this emerging body of work both in management theory and organizational learning.
