ABOUT KUNSTGREB.

Kunstgreb & Co helps with development and innovation in private, public companies, NGOs and associations.

What can you use the Kunstgreb method for?

In short … to create change and development. In a longer term… to develop and optimise the processes and products of private / public companies, organisations and associations.

What is the Kunstgreb method?

It is an award-winning creative innovation method designed to create a development processes. The method is equally suitable for process and product development and in connection with wishes for cultural changes in the organisation.

As the name – “Kunstgreb” – suggests, it is inspired by the artist’s way of thinking and working.

The method and tools of the Kunstgreb method are based on:

That people are inspired and motivated by creating and co-creating themselves
That perception occurs before reflection - i.e. body before thought. The body is on its’ way into the future - the reflective consciousness is in the past
How the brain is brought into flow mode and through that can create unique results
That increased sensory stimulation affects the brain positively and we therefore experience more nuanced solutions
That we act and perform better when we become emotionally influenced; for example, through artistic experiences
That results are best created by incorporating legendary elements and creativity
To avoid repeating old habits and inappropriate routines

The method opens the eyes of process participants for new ways to develop and optimise.

Why create ideology, innovation and business development in new different ways?

It’s vital! The history books are filled with examples that corporate ideas are usually not sufficiently innovative, but rather variations over common thinking. If business models are sustained for a long time and concepts slip, you risk a spiral out of the market. It requires timely care, good ideas and effective implementation management to avoid it.

Kunstgreb & Co has created Kunstgreb’s unique innovation method for kick-starting companies, creating new dynamics in existing companies, strengthen product development to help ensure viability.

Inspired by many of the most outstanding artists we have deciphered how they think, work and create magic. We have then transferred the method to employee progress. We are very enthusiastic and have been awarded 2 international prizes.

Art has been incorporated into the Kunstgreb method on several levels:

1. Like the mindset

The prerequisite for innovating together is: openness and cordiality. Mindset is known for most creative artists.
In Kunstgreb, we teach and train participants that “open heart – open mind – open will” are basic prerequisites for creating a good result.

2. As ability / capacity

The ability to use all their senses is a great strength. Many artists have a specially developed sensory device. They perceive and involve the unseen and exploit what they sense in the creation and execution moment.
In Kunstgreb, the method and most developed tools are used to exploit the participants’ full sensational potential, as well as train them to rely on the potential.

3. As work tools

Artist’s work tools include retention and utilisation of creative approach as a tool.
In Kunstgrebs we utilise man’s boundless curiosity and creative approach in the work process. The approach makes us let go, make us amazed and open up to new solutions.

4. As a working method

Artists know that he or she will only be good through the repetition. The continuous exercise and repetition make the difference. In this way, freedom is obtained to seize the unforeseen and thus to be creative.
The artists’ method of working has been an inspiration for the creation of the Kunstgreb method. In the ideology phase, the ideas are repeated, expanded, refined and developed in the progress of an innovation process.

5. As an experience

When the artist or art touches us emotionally – we give more relief to ourselves.
In Kunstgreb we work with release – or to try not to be bound to the existing one. Through the release of the usual solutions and thoughts opens up for the unknown – the new one. The Kunstgreb method allows for release – and thereby releases.

Most of us have probably been part of an experience where 20 – or 20,000 people – have had a memorable sensual experience together? With or without 20,000 lighted lighters and flashing mobile phones. These kinds of experiences can make us become one entity that together senses feel each other and have a community. This observation and conscious use of artistic methods and tools is a central part of the Kunstgrebs & CO working method.

Here it is not the audience, but the employees in the company’s potentials and capabilities, which are being developed jointly. They are conducted in a sensible legend? and create the new ideas that are the company’s untapped potential and often basic to the company’s survival. In short, the foundation for the development needed to position itself in the market – whether it’s about selling new products, services or creating a modern sound responsive organisation.
