We believe that we are about to enter an Age of Creativity. In this talk, first delivered at Nudge Festival by LikeMinds, I look at why as well as cover the 4 Creative Superpowers of Maker, Hacker, Teacher and Thief. I also provide examples of how we use the Superpowers within our Culture Change work. You can buy a copy of Creative Superpowers: Equip yourself for Creativity on Amazon and in all good bookstores
