The Centre for Creativity in Professional Practice @ Cass
 

The Centre for Creativity in Professional Practice is a unique collaboration between leading researchers and academics, combining research and education from business, design, arts, social science, computer science, health, law, engineering and more. The Centre delivers the unique Masters in Innovation, Centre and Leadership (MICL).

The world is increasingly complex, unstructured and dynamic. New interdisciplinary approaches are needed to provide new ways to make sense of the chaos. The Centre’s mission is to build a new cadre of creative leaders, equipped with the interdisciplinary frameworks, knowledge, techniques and skills to investigate, generate, envision, prototype, critique and reflect on creative solutions to today’s complex, ill-structured and chaotic problems, and provide new forms of intellectual resilience.
