Discussion – Discussion: Evaluating Ekvall’s Dimensions of a Creative Climate
For this assignment, you will investigate metrics for determining success in an innovative organization as well as critical factors that can help identify organizations that will be successful at innovating. You will apply and discuss Göran Ekvall’s method for measuring the creative climate at an organization by examining ten climate dimensions he identified.
Review the creative climate document and then complete the Dimensions of Creative Climate worksheet which assesses Ekvall’s ten dimensions of a creative climate for your current organization; alternatively, you can measure another organization by interviewing one of its employees.
Then, write about your thoughts and address the following in your initial post:
Were you surprised by the inclusion of any of Ekvall’s ten dimensions? Are there any additional dimensions that you think should have been included?
Which dimension of creative climate was the hardest to evaluate?
Share any insights or thoughts about the creative climate for the organization you evaluated.
