CREATIVE LEADERSHIP IN THE PLATFORM ERA
Launch Event of the Creative Leadership Hub
How can leaders foster authentic creativity and innovation in an increasingly platformized world? The emergence of digital, social, algorithmic, and AI-enhanced platforms has fundamentally transformed how value is created, distributed, and captured in today’s economy. Meanwhile, traditional models of creative leadership, already in decline, face fresh and unprecedented challenges from automation, AI, and platformization. What does this mean for the future of creative leadership? Join David Slocum for a provocative exploration of creative leadership’s evolution and future in our platform-driven economy.
Drawing on his recent research into both the historical trajectory of creative leadership and the transformative impact of platforms, and the insights and experiences of attendees, David will facilitate a discussion of such crucial questions facing today’s leaders as:
- How can organizations balance platform-driven efficiency, speed, and scale with human agency and meaningful creative and co-creative work?
- What new capabilities, mindsets, and behaviors may be needed by creative leaders to succeed as platforms and AI reshape creative work?
- What lessons can we learn from creative leadership’s past to avoid the traps and temptations of performative creativity and innovation in leading the Platform Era?
- In what ways might platform dynamics help to reinvent rather than constrain or marginalize creative leadership as a theory and practice?
Over the coming weeks, registrants will receive advance copies of David’s background notes and writing examining both the emergence of platform dynamics in contemporary organizations and society and the historical arc of creative leadership. The session will include structured discussion and practical insights for nurturing sustainable creative collaboration and work in platform-mediated environments.
Register now to join this timely conversation about the future of creative leadership.
