Program:	<b>Presenter Biography:</b><br>Katherine A. Lawrence, co-author of Creativity at Work: Developing the Right Practices to Make Innovation Happen, is currently completing a Ph.D. in organizational behavior at the University of Michigan Business School. Her research interests include creativity, improvisation,and collaboration, inspired by past work experience in filmmaking (production management, design, and directing) and educational technology (software design and development). Katherine holds degrees from both Harvard and Yale.<p> <B>Company:</B> University of Michigan Business School<br> <B>Address:</B> http://www.creativity-at-work.com/ and http://www.bus.umich.edu/Academics/Departments/obhrm/obhrm/phd/students/lawr<br>; <B>Email:</B>kathla@umich.edu<;p> <B>Topic Overview:</B><BR> In a tight economy, businesses are desperately trying to make their products, services, and processes more valuable by making them better or new. Unfortunately, many businesses try a single strategy for creativity-and their attempts at value creation fail because most prescriptive approaches to creativity never look at the connection between creativity as an activity and the particular characteristics of the task at hand. In contrast, this presentation will offer an integrated theory of creative practices with accompanying strategies and methods for producing valuable results.<p> <b>Benefits of This Presentation:</b><br> This approach will not tell you how you can be more like an artist or how you can find your inner child, but it will show you how creativity appears in many different forms-and how one or more strategies might fit your situation exactly. The goal is to help you tailor your project management approach to fit your specific needs for generating, developing, making, and selling new products, services, processes, and ideas.<p>
