In Module Seven, 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. Over the next two weeks, you will apply and discuss Göran Ekvall’s method for measuring the creative climate at an organization by examining ten climate dimensions he identified. This discussion topic will span two weeks through Module Eight.
This week, in Module Seven, you will first complete the Dimensions of Creative Climate worksheet (in the resources for this module), 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 you will write about your thoughts in your Module Seven discussion posts. You should review the creative climate document, which is in the resources for this module, before completing the worksheet.
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. Discuss the one to two dimensions that received the highest and lowest scores.
In addition, upload the following file:
