Did you know that creativity is an important skill for every career?

Creativity allows you to think outside the box and face challenges with a different perspective.

Not only that, but it also helps when adapting to changes in the workplace environment, such as the integration of new technologies and the collaboration with multiple generations in work teams.

Despite the advantages and capabilities that AI brings to the workspace, creative thinking is an irreplaceable human skill.

To learn more about it, we recommend you check out this article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelwells/2024/01/28/70-of-employers-say-creative-thinking-is-most-in-demand-skill-in-2024/

Our series of certificates that enhance your CV continues!

This week weโ€™re highlighting our MSPยฎ certification, designed for professionals who lead, manage, or support transformational change.

MSPยฎ comprises a set of principles, governance themes and a set of processes to use when managing a business transformation. It provides an integrated framework that guides the work using three lenses:

๐Ÿ™๏ธ Fundamental principles derived from positive and negative lessons learned from programme experiences

๐Ÿ™๏ธ Governance themes that define an organisation's approach to programme management

๐Ÿ™๏ธ Processes across a programme lifecycle which provides a route through the lifecycle of a programme from its conception through to the delivery of the new capability, outcomes, and benefits.

There are two levels within the course, each examined separately: the Foundation level and the Practitioner level, which you can take sequentially or at separate times.

We recommend you book the two courses together to benefit of a 10% discount on the combined price.

These courses are high in-demand so donโ€™t hesitate to secure a spot via the following links โฌ‡๏ธ
