Creativity Management System Certification Program

CIBS Creativity Management System Certification Program (CMSCP) has been designed to be used in any company. The program is available in English and French. CIBS is currently investigating the possibility of licensing the program to one or more training or consulting agencies to guarantee sufficient coaching as the program is implemented in other companies.
(CMSCP) has been developed as a model to place creativity in individual and organizational contexts. As such, the program can be used by individual staff members, teams, departments, or entire organizations.

Creativity Management Model (CMM)

Creativity plays a key role in organizations as they strive for a continuous flow of innovations. After all, there is no innovation without creativity. A model consisting of five criteria for creativity in organizations was the foundation of the Creativity Management system certification program (CMSCP), which is being applied successfully at research centers.
