About

Helping more people to think up.

Creativer is a specialist creative thinking learning provider and innovation consultancy based in Singapore.

 

Our beliefs

Creative confidence

We are passionate about nurturing creative imagination with catalyst creative thinking techniques.

As a form of self-expression, creativity is a vital human need.  Our creative thinking potential can be constrained by pressures and biases - but these can be overcome by purposeful process and tools - especially in the workplace.

Inclusive innovation

Understanding more about ourselves and others better equips teams to solve problems creatively.

The combined thinking energy of a team united in one purpose is more potent than the individual efforts of many people.  When teams create together, they own together.

Connecting human to human

Innovation is about making things work better for people.  It starts with provocative human truths and real stories.

Being always open and curious is the starting place for deeper understanding of behaviour and navigating how to improve relevance and value.

As a consultant, facilitator and marketing professional, Lara values and strives for the power of collective intelligence: when a group of individuals comes together to THINK UP for the benefit of the team.

Lara helps teams and individuals to find their creative rhythm. In addition to core Creative Problem Solving method training, Lara helps clients with strategies to build a creative team culture, and facilitates problem solving workshops.

Lara previously spent 15 years at Visa Inc, the majority of these leading the Asia Pacific consulting team, and earlier leading the regional marketing insights team.  Lara worked with clients including DBS, Standard Chartered Bank, Citibank, Westpac, Bank Mandiri, and many partners in adjacent sectors.  She led teams in solving a variety of challenges ranging from product revitalization and service delivery, to market entry and cultural change.  She presented frequently at Visa client forums to C-suite leaders from across disciplines. Before joining Visa in 2003, Lara held various strategy, marketing and product roles in the banking industry in Australia.

A unique capability that Lara brings to clients is FourSight® Innovation profiling, a tool that reveals team diversity and enables self-awareness and empathy, helping teams to work better together.
