A survey from IBM’s Institute for Business Value shows that CEOs value one leadership competency above all others – creativity. It is therefore timely that the City University London formed its Centre for Creativity with a goal of becoming the UK leader in the teaching, research and transfer of creativity in professional practice, ranging from informatics and engineering to business and the arts. City is already a world-class centre of applied creativity research through activities in informatics, business, psychology, music and the arts.

The MICL offers a rare, perhaps unique, opportunity to study Innovation, Creativity and Leadership from a fully rounded, interdisciplinary perspective, learning from leaders in each of the disciplines. The subjects studied are:
This video shows how techniques learned in the MICL can be applied to tackle ‘impossible questions’ like the current financial debt and asking if ‘The City Needs Rehab’ to help solve the problem.
Congratulations to Roger Neill and the rest of the faculty and staff at the Centre for this unique program.
