Why add a creative element in DYLOP Collab (Alumni workshop)?

The DYLOP Collab* program, introduces an element of creativity, and it is designed that way on purpose – want to know why? 

You might be surprised to know that DYLOP is more than a one-off event, you create a Strategic Life Map every year, for the year ahead and beyond.  Any organisation worth their salt would not set a strategic agenda and never check in on it or adjust it to be relevant for today, with an eye to tomorrow.  Once you have completed the initial course, you are invited to attend the DYLOP Collab – exclusively for Graduates. 

*DYLOP Collab – only for graduates of the DYLOP Program, as the foundations are already established, so we can go deeper in less time. 


Why am I telling you this? 

I am telling you this because I want to explain why there is a creative element built into the DYLOP Collab program. 

Firstly, due to the fact you have used the templates before, we can go faster.  They are familiar with the structure overall and are no longer learning to use the templates.  Surprisingly, when using the same templates, they also go deeper.  The conversation is at another level entirely. 

Once you have reflected on the year that was and dreamt of what is to come in your future having a creative break does 2 main things. 

Gives you intuition/brain processing time 

Not every insight comes fully loaded and prepared and precisely the right time it is needed.  Giving the brain/intuition time to process/ponder/percolate, can mean that you change or adjust the plan ahead.  It can also mean you are surer of it.  Both outcomes are invaluable 

It allows you to experience failure, therefore be braver

The time that we use to be creative, has been doing activities that people have never tried before, watercolours, polymer clay jewellery making, creating resin moulds.   

Most, if not all the participants, including me might have zero experience in how this will work, does work.  So, what we “create” will be experimental to be generous and oft times might be an outright failure.  Taking the time to explore and create and possibly fail, means that when we come back and look at our Strategic Life Map for the next year and beyond, we just might be a little braver. 

Here is a picture of the resin creations, this time around.
