What is creativity?
We have a personal idea of what it means to us, but lack a coherent definition that translates across industries and cultures.
That’s where Prolog's Five Creative Strengths come in. Each strength represents an aspect of highly creative products. People can also represent these strengths through their unique perspectives and working style.

Our Methodology
Our Five Strengths model and creative assessment methodology derives its foundations from a variety of scholarship combed from 65 years of research in the field. We are particularly indebted to the Creative Product Semantic Scale, created by Doctor Susan Besemer & Karen O’Quin (1989) and the Consensual Assessment Technique developed by Professor Teresa Amabile (1982).
