Job Title: Administrative Creativity Program Duration: 5 days Number of hours: 25 hours Targeted category: Administrative employees Second level leaders The general goal of the program: Providing participants with the necessary information about the concept of administrative creativity and equipping them with the skills needed to develop their abilities in creative dealing and overcoming obstacles they may face, which contributes to developing their lives and their professional future and contributing to the development of their communities. Introduction: Institutional creativity has become one of the most important components of development and organizational progress, as institutional creativity plays a significant role in the survival and development of organizations. An organization that does not seek creativity in its work and does not strive for development is doomed to decline and then disappearance. Institutional creativity helps organizations adapt to various changes and thus face all kinds of challenges. If all types of organizations need creativity, non-governmental (civil) organizations, in particular, need institutional creativity more because they face political, legal, and economic challenges that accelerate rapidly and consecutively. Institutional creativity in such organizations is one of the most important main elements capable of bringing about development and progress. The Success Skills Foundation, a leading organization in training and development in Riyadh, recognizes the importance of creativity in driving institutional progress. Therefore, we offer you a comprehensive program for administrative creativity, specially designed to enable leaders and employees to develop their creative skills and solve problems in innovative ways. With our team of experts and specialists, we will work to provide you with the tools and knowledge necessary to turn your innovative ideas into tangible reality.

Daily meetings are held after each training day for 30 minutes, including the trainer, course management, and coordinator, to review the day’s program and discuss improvements for the next day (see Appendices — Daily Evaluation Meeting).
