You will complete both parts of this discussion in the Module Eight discussion thread

�tled “Evalua�ng Ekvall’s Dimensions of a Crea�ve Climate.”

In Module Seven, you will inves�gate metrics for determining success in an innova�ve

organiza�on as well as cri�cal factors that can help iden�fy organiza�ons that will be

successful at innova�ng. Over the next two weeks, you will apply and discuss Göran

Ekvall’s method for measuring the crea�ve climate at an organiza�on by examining ten

climate dimensions he iden�fied. This discussion topic will span two weeks through

Module Eight.

This week, in Module Seven, you will first complete the Dimensions of Crea�ve Climate

worksheet (in the resources for this module), which assesses Ekvall’s ten dimensions of a

crea�ve climate for your current organiza�on; alterna�vely, you can measure another

organiza�on by interviewing one of its employees. Then you will write about your

thoughts in your Module Seven discussion posts. You should review the crea�ve climate

document, which is in the resources for this module, before comple�ng the worksheet.

Address the following in your ini�al post:

Were you surprised by the inclusion of any of Ekvall’s ten dimensions? Are there

any addi�onal dimensions that you think should have been included?

Which dimension of crea�ve climate was the hardest to evaluate?

Share any insights or thoughts about the crea�ve climate for the organiza�on you

evaluated. Discuss the one to two dimensions that received the highest and lowest

scores.

In addi�on, upload the following file:

Activity Details

You will complete both parts of this discussion in the Module Eight discussion thread titled

“Evaluating Ekvall’s Dimensions of a Creative Climate.”

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:

dimensions of creative climate worksheet, which is in the resources for this module

To submit your initial post, navigate to the discussion page in Module Eight. Your initial post is

due by Sunday evening. Note that you are not responding to other learners’ posts this week.

Next week, in Module Eight, you will review other learners’ posts and provide two of them with
