“Chris Stevens is a vibrant and engaged communicator with an important message for all organisations that want to flourish in these turbulent times. His interpretation of creativity is broad yet focuses on getting the best from staff and helping them cope with the demands of uncertainty and building that framework into opportunities for innovation and delivery. He is a tonic for the present and a ladder into the future.”

“I write to recommend Dr Chris Stevens as a lecturer, mentor and adviser. He developed one of the School’s most successful courses, Managing Creativity, and is an in-demand speaker in the wider media industry. Chris is able to impart a high level of theoretical knowledge in an accessible and practical way. Participants report they can immediately use the skills learned, for example, in managing others for creative outcomes, in sustaining their own creativity and in staying resilient and balanced under the pressures of work.”
