MATRIXWORKS™ was used extensively in the Creativity and Innovation Initiative at Mattel Toy's Platypus Project and, currently in Procter and Gamble's Creative Clay Street Project. It is also being used to support the implementation of GAP/Old Navy's Growth and Greatness Initiative.
The proven principles, processes and practices of MATRIXWORKS™ help cross-functional teams become so connected to each other and their purpose that creativity happens with breath-taking speed and brillance. By focusing on the relationships between team members, strengthening trust and teaching unique ways to deal with conflicts and chaos, the team becomes a' living body', or Living System,capable of accessing collective intelligence and accomplishing its task to bringing forth products, ideas,and new brands that are right for the current marketplace.
Of equal importance, the team members are changed as human beings through this experience. They have brought more of themselves to the table. They want creativity to be apart of all work experiences because they know it is possible. The result is a more creativie company where accomplishment, inspiration, innovation as well as nourishment and satisfaction are normal. This is extraordinary.
MATRIXWORKS™ is beginning to work in Businesses in Brazil and Mexico City in 2008. It is proving to be very useful for Sales and Marketing Teams as well as in Family owned and operated businesses. Matrixworks classes are planned in Costa Rica, Argentina and Sweden in 2008.
