Key Associates
Ci:Creative Intelligence works with a wide range of associates from
the world of the arts and development. Some are individual artist-trainers,
others are organisations similar to Ci:Creative Intelligence but with
their own particular areas of expertise. Collaboration rather than
competition is one of the distinguishing characteristics of the arts
world, so none of us finds it strange to work with competitors.
