We have dedicated our professional lives to one key question: How can organizations and leaders succeed in increasingly dynamic, complex, and uncertain environments? Our answer: Robust Leadership.  Robust Leadership offers orientation from two perspectives — the what (strategy & foresight) and the how (culture & values). Leaders must define a clear direction for the future while remaining aware of environmental changes, interpreting them, and adapting proactively. At the same time, shared and lived values form the foundation for culture, change, and innovation, guiding how goals are achieved.  More than a concept, Robust Leadership is an essential guide that translates research and practice into action. Reflection exercises help leaders and teams strengthen their robustness, while the Robust Leadership Assessment enables them to evaluate their current state and identify opportunities for development.

Creativity in organizations has become a key topic of organizational research. This work expands on existing research by exploring creativity in the dynamics of social networks. Collective creativity is introduced as a central part of organizational learning and seen as the expression of creativity on the collective level. The research is able to empirically assess creativity in the development of social structures. For the assessment of creativity this work applies a longitudinal study design by combining social network analysis with creativity studies. The approach enables to relate creativity indicators with social network measures. It is based on an empirical study of innovation projects in the automotive industry and thereby extends existing research and theories on creativity, social network dynamics and organizational learning.
