It can be difficult for teams to get creative work done when they are also trying to think about how to get that work done. The Creative Capacity Library is a collection of practical toolkits designed to guide teams through certain creative processes so they can focus on the outcome. Each resource offers step-by-step activities, frameworks, and prompts drawn from workshops and experiences we’ve run with real partners.

About the toolkit

  • The Creative Capacity Library is for leaders, facilitators, and teams in nonprofit, civic, and educational spaces who want to work as a group to tackle a challenge facing their organization.

  • The toolkits make it easy to walk through a process to get your team to a new idea, new set of insights, or test something you’ve been thinking about.

  • By using the Creative Capacity Library, you’ll build your team’s confidence in creative thinking, improve collaboration, and develop practical solutions tailored to your context.
