TudoRama

TudoRama explores the nature and practice of creativity in the arts, sciences, politics and above all in everyday life. Tudor Rickards is Emeritus Professor of Creativity and Organizational Change at the University of Manchester. Tudor studied chemistry and radiation chemistry at The University of Wales at Cardiff. Following post-doctoral research at New York Medical College, he returned to the UK to work in technical management before joining Manchester Business School. He has published numerous books and articles on creativity, sporting management and leadership, as well as fictional works involving the mythical University of Urmston. He has been influential in the development of creativity-related projects in Europe, including the European Association for Creativity and Innovation (EACI), and was co-founder (with Susan Moger) of the journal Creativity and Innovation Management. He is also author of detective stories centred around the fictional University of Urmston, and a nearby chess club which houses a top-secret government surveillance operation. His recent switch to podcasting reaches out to a wider general audience interested in current affairs, and the processes of creativity previously described in his lectures, blogposts, and textbooks.

Proposal for collaboration with CIM for contributions to the new edition of Dilemmas of Leadership

Invitation and call for ideas.
CIM Community Meeting, March 2025

As invited by the Editorial Board I have submitted an idea for consideration at the CIM Community Meeting, March 2025

The Idea: Proposal for collaboration with CIM for contributions to the new edition of Dilemmas of Leadership
Proposer: Tudor Rickards

I am inviting contributions, initially in the form of citations of publications on emerging issues in creativity and innovation, to be published in the fourth edition of my textbook Dilemmas of Leadership, Routledge. Publication date is for January 2026 and final text is planned for September 2025.

A possible way would be for suggestions to be made directly to me from interested members of the CIM participants at the community meeting in March 2025.

The strategic deliberations of CIM are taking place at a period of global disturbances which are accompanied by manifestations of creative and innovative actions. Theory and practice will continue to develop in interdependent ways. CIM will undoubtedly play its part in communicating such developments, as implied by the workshop’s goals.

As an example, Professor Colin Talbot suggested the emerging theme of collaboration in leadership, and cited The Corporate Economy by Doved Lovie

The process could be coordinated via CIM or the citations sent directly to me. I will be working with a small team of contributing editors.

From long experience, the workshop will itself improve on this basic proposal or develop further possibilities.
