For this week’s Discussion, you will need to take the organizational-creativity assessment in this week’s interactive media piece titled: Dimensions of a creative working climate. Use this creativity assessment to assess an organization for which you have worked or with which you are familiar.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post results from taking the organizational creativity assessment, including:

· A description of the organization you selected for the organizational creativity assessment (i.e., is the organization small or large and what was your level/position within the organization or from what level/position are you making the assessment, etc.).

· Use these designations to describe the size of your company:

· Small organization: Below 500 employees

· Medium-sized organization: 500 to 1,000 employees

· Large organization: 1,000 or above employees

· The level/position relates to the level of management from which the assessment is made (i.e., from a first level management level or from an executive level management level)

· Describe the leadership, environment, and process factors specific to both individuals as well as teams that contribute to a creative climate. Make sure to compare and contrast how well these factors affect individual team creativity climate vs. team creativity climate. Consider leadership and influence at multiple levels of the organization.

· Next, describe the results of the creativity assessment you took. Explain how your organization fared according to the assessment. Summarize in your own words the salient points referring to existing creative practices that were assessed.

· Identify the dimensions of creativity at the organization that you ranked the highest and the lowest. Evaluate how the rank of these dimensions explains the organizational climate for creativity. Include whether the summary and suggestions provided by the assessment are supported by your experience or observations.
