Abstract
This master’s project presents creative principles, frameworks, materials, and online methodologies for the development of a new or updated training program within a team environment. Inspiration for the project was sourced from creativity research papers, publicly available training guides, popular business books, and my personal experience co-leading the Global Citizen Leadership program in partnership with the Center for Creative Leadership at two universities in India. The tools and materials shared throughout the project were focused towards the personal development of facilitation and core skills for the 55 person staff at SEEK Company. Creativity principles of autonomy, team resource, and failure were used for the creation of all materials and training frameworks. Key findings have been shared to help extend the project’s impact to a broader set of organizations and learning environments.
