What is the Global Applied Creativity ConferenceMany years ago, Sid Parnes, one of the pioneers of applied creativity, said: “Organisations that consistently apply Creative Thinking principles and methods: rapidly develop innovative ideas to address real issues and improve business performance, achieve unique and sustainable outcomes that support strategic business goals.” This is the essence of this conference: creating breakthrough ideas, identifying the core of your problems and solving them creatively, leading and managing with your whole brain, bidding farewell to negativity, and moving from the ordinary to the extraordinary. “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” - Søren Kierkegaard

What is like attending The Global Applied Creativity Conference
We asked our attendees of the previous event to describe the conference
The NBI BrainProfile and Beyonder Programme have proven highly effective in enhancing business performance, as shown by BMW's experience. By using BrainProfile insights to identify their sales team's strengths and weaknesses, BMW tailored training to optimize communication, build rapport, and close deals more effectively. Furthermore, fostered a mindset of growth and resilience, resulting in a boost in sales productivity, with salespeople increasing from 5 to an average of 8 cars sold per month. This highlights the transformative impact of the NBI BrainProfile and Beyonder Programme on driving business success.
As a teacher and Head of Department, attending ACRE multiple times has deeply impacted my work. The sessions led by Kobus Neethling and world-class creativity specialists taught me essential skills: thinking outside the box, brainstorming solutions, embracing change, and understanding whole-brain creativity. ACRE not only promotes creativity but also fosters a sense of community among like-minded people, empowering anyone in any field to make a meaningful difference. If you're considering ACRE, it’s for you!
