This discussion topic will span two weeks to Module Eight.
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.
In Module Seven, review the creative climate document and
then complete the Dimensions of Creative Climate worksheet
(both the document and worksheet are located in the
resources area of Module Seven), 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, write about your thoughts and 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:

worksheet
Your initial post is due by Sunday evening.
In Module Eight, review other learners' posts and provide two
of them with your feedback (consider replying to a peer whose
post has not been replied to yet). Address the following points:
1.
Review the posts by your peers about Ekvall's ten
dimensions and provide your feedback by answering the
following questions:
o
Do you agree or disagree with the need for
additional dimensions?
o
Were you surprised that Ekvall included only one
dimension that is negatively correlated? What
conclusions can you draw from that fact?
o
Do you agree or disagree with the post about the
dimension that is the most difficult to assess?
2.
Review the creative climate assessments posted by your
peers and provide your feedback by answering the
following questions:
o
Based on the notes, did you disagree with any of the
ten ratings in the assessments?
o
Do you think it would be more beneficial for
organizations to try to strengthen the aspects of
their creative climate that are the strongest or to
improve the aspects that are the weakest?
o
What recommendations would you make to the
organization to improve their creative climate? For
example, think about how established organizations
with existing structures designed for efficient and
effective use of resources can relax some of their
restrictions to allow playfulness, freedom, and risk-
taking without losing control of the things that allow
it to be currently successful.
o
Do you agree or disagree with the need for
additional dimensions?
