SummaryA course on how individual creativity works and how teams and organisations can encourage or block new ideas, adapted from an Open University postgraduate module. It helps workers build their own creative confidence and helps managers create conditions for innovation.An introductory course that explains why generative AI behaves the way it does, as a companion to the AI Fluency framework. It covers next token prediction, knowledge, working memory and steerability, with hands-on try-it activities, so learners can diagnose odd outputs and fix them.

  • Apply more strategic approaches to creativity, including creative swiping
  • Build a working mental model of how generative AI produces answers
  • Recognise which kind of problem sits behind an unexpected AI output
  • Judge where a task sits between what AI does well and where it struggles
