How to combine industrial operations with the metaverse? How does a blockchain-based SaaS for production line simulation look? We don’t know, either! But we know how you can find answers on the pressing future challenges that lie ahead of you.
Over a longer period of time, we wil provide you with a customized journey that is designed in a way that maximizes your creative output. While you can focus on understanding future customer challenges and developing novel solutions, we pave your path to get there.
Let us create your future, together.
Creativity is a Skill – And you can learn it.
At its core, creativity is the interplay of divergence (generating many ideas) and convergence (refining them into actionable solutions). It’s about skillfully managing these two seemingly opposing ways of thinking, not just favoring one. This delicate balance is influenced by circumstances, resources, and desired novelty. Like mastering the violin, fostering creativity demands consistent practice and discipline to develop the intuitive sense needed for truly novel yet valuable output. Yet, investment in creativity often gets sidelined by more urgent tasks.
Let’s conquer the status quo together!
We can help you to generate truly radical impact.
The Approach
This is what you can expect.
How we encourage Creativity.
Every creative endeavor is unique and consumes more resources than just leaving something as is. It is truly a challenge to use capacities and competences for creativity reasonably and sustainably.
3 Levels of Transformation
1 Discovery Engine
Dip your toes into creative waters and experience our creative way of working in a very limited time frame. Explore the problem and solution space once each to generate solution ideas that are somewhat novel and surprising, but of course not breakthrough.
2 Discovery Flex
Engage in an intense collaboration tailored to your circumstances. Over a couple of months you experience our creative way of working in daily creativity sessions. Through the course of collaboration, we are able to flexibly adapt to the progress being made and tailor the sessions to the outcomes of the problem space exploration to increase the chance of creative breakthrough.
3 Discovery Sprints
Engage in a super flexible creative collaboration over at least one year with the Creativity Lab. For each sprint, we take ourselves about 3 weeks and either explore the problem space, solution space or solution implementation. This form of collaboration maximizes the chance of creative breakthrough and provides most opportunities for individual creative growth.

“Creativity means trying new things and daring to do what you’d normally be too afraid to do. It’s crucial to build an environment of trust around you to truly foster this.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the Creativity Master Class for?
The Creativity Master Class is for anyone who is confronted with situations in their everyday (work) life where there is no ready-made standard solution and they have to find a new way to solve the problem themselves. Participation is independent of expertise and industry – all that is required is an interest in the topic and training in creativity.
Do I need to be “creative” already to join?
Not at all (in fact we are all creative). Creativity is not a talent, but a skill anyone can learn. That’s exactly what the Creativity Master Class is about.
How is the Creativity Master Class structured?
We offer two flexible formats for the Creativity Master Class, each designed to fit your lifestyle and learning preferences, while delivering the same rich content.
1-Week In-Person
Five full-day sessions for immersive learning and personal connections, fostering teamwork and collaboration, making it easy to build lasting relationships with fellow participants.
2-Week Remote
Ten half-day sessions available in the morning or afternoon, perfect for different time zones, allowing participation from anywhere in the world benefiting from live interaction and engagement.

Group sizes are limited to 25-30 participants to ensure active exchange, collaboration, and individual feedback.
Can my employer cover the fee?
Absolutely. Many companies support further training in creativity and innovation. We’re happy to provide an official offer or confirmation letter if needed.
What makes the Creativity Master Class unique?
It combines scientific insights from creativity research with hands-on exercises, reflection, and peer exchange.

You also benefit from a diverse network of participants from different industries.
