Innovation isn’t an accident:

It's creative people in a creative culture using a creative process.

Organizations need innovation to survive.

But most don't know how to create the conditions to help it thrive.

Innovation takes three things working together: creative people, a creative culture, and a creative process.

The Hodges 12 for Teams™ gives you a clear read on the first two, your people and your culture. Our workshops take your team through the third, the creative problem-solving process.

First, it maps the individual creative strengths of every team member through their Creative Genius Trifecta. It shows exactly what creative firepower you have on the team and where you may have gaps.

Second, it measures 15 dimensions of team culture to identify the catalyzing factors for creativity and reveals whether the environment is nurturing or hindering the team's creative potential.

The Hodges 12 for Teams™ gives leaders the complete picture, and practical steps to unlock their team's full creative potential and drive innovation.

Creativity is the engine that drives innovation.

Creativity is the process of generating novel and useful ideas. Innovation is implementing them. You can't have innovation without creativity. Organizations that focus only on innovation without nurturing creativity are trying to drive a car without fuel.

The Hodges 12 for Teams™ measures the conditions where creativity thrives, because that's where innovation begins.

No Creativity. No Innovation.

Creativity is where ideas are born. Innovation is where ideas go to work. One feeds the other. If your team isn't innovating, the problem likely starts upstream with the conditions for creativity.

Three Paths to Team Performance

Every person on your team has a creative genius. The question is: do they know it? And more importantly, does your team know how to leverage it together?

Each of these programs help your team discover their individual creative genius, map their collective strengths, diagnose their creative culture, and transform how they work together.

Everyone on your team will take The Hodges 12 for Teams™ which includes their individual profile and the team profile which we will explore and activate together.

These options are available based on your team's needs and readiness:
