Over the next two weeks, you will apply and discuss G¶ran Ekvall's method for measuring the creative climate at an organization by examining ten climate dimensions he identified.In Module Seven, review the creative climate document and then complete the Dimensions of Creative Climate worksheet (both the document and worksheet are located in the resources area of Module Seven), which assesses Ekvall's ten dimensions of a creative climate for your current organization; alternatively, you can measure another organization by interviewing one of its employees.Then, write about your thoughts and address the following in your initial post:Were you surprised by the inclusion of any of Ekvall's ten dimensions? Are there any additional dimensions that you think should have been included?Which dimension of creative climate was the hardest to evaluate?Share any insights or thoughts about the creative climate for the organization you evaluated. Discuss the one to two dimensions that received the highest and lowest scores.In addition, upload the following file:Your completed Ekvall's dimensions of a creative climate assessment using the dimensions of creative climate worksheetYour initial post is due by Sunday evening.In Module Eight, review other learners' posts and provide two of them with your feedback (consider replying to a peer whose post has not been replied to yet). Address the following points:Review the posts by your peers about Ekvall's ten dimensions and provide your feedback by answering the following questions:Do you agree or disagree with the need for additional dimensions?Were you surprised that Ekvall included only one dimension that is negatively correlated? What conclusions can you draw from that fact?Do you agree or disagree with the post about the dimension that is the most difficult to assess?Review the creative climate assessments posted by your peers and provide your feedback by answering the following questions:Based on the notes, did you disagree with any of the ten ratings in the assessments?Do you think it would be more beneficial for organizations to try to strengthen the aspects of their creative climate that are the strongest or to improve the aspects that are the weakest?What recommendations would you make to the organization to improve their creative climate? For example, think about how established organizations with existing structures designed for efficient and effective use of resources can relax some of their restrictions to allow playfulness, freedom, and risk-taking without losing control of the things that allow it to be currently successful.To complete this assignment, review the Multiweek Discussion Guidelines and Rubric.
