This introductory two-day executive workshop is based on tried and tested methods developed with businesses, drawing on expertise the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design has acquired while delivering over 280 projects for clients ranging from businesses, the government and the third sector. The workshop will include examples of real-world case studies of Creative Leadership in action.
