RAFFLES JAKARTA X MAP RETAIL ACADEMY
Creative Thinking as a Strategic and Leadership Skill
Raffles Jakarta is proud to announce its collaboration with MAP Group through an exclusive executive session titled “Creative Thinking as a Strategic & Leadership Skill.” This session marks the beginning of a meaningful partnership between academic excellence and industry leadership development.
When Creativity Becomes a Leadership Advantage
In today’s retail and corporate landscape, operational efficiency alone is no longer enough. The most successful leaders are those who think beyond boundaries, leaders who challenge assumptions, connect ideas across disciplines, and translate creativity into strategic advantage.
This session explores how creative thinking is not merely an artistic skill but a critical leadership capability. In fast-evolving industries such as retail, fashion, and lifestyle, innovation often determines market relevance. Through structured discussion and strategic frameworks, participants will examine how creativity strengthens decision-making, problem-solving, and executive vision.
Strengthening the Bridge Between Industry and Academia
This collaboration reflects Raffles Jakarta’s commitment to real-world relevance. By partnering with MAP Retail Academy, the learning and development arm behind Indonesia’s leading retail ecosystem, Raffles Jakarta, reinforces its role as a thought partner for industry leaders.
MAP CRAFT (Creative Refinement and Artistic Fundamentals Training) is designed to elevate creative capacity within the corporate environment. By integrating academic insights into professional development, the program ensures that leadership growth is both practical and visionary.
At Raffles Jakarta, we believe that education should not exist in isolation. It must engage directly with industry, contribute to professional transformation, and shape decision-makers who influence markets.
A Strategic Beginning
This exclusive session signals the start of a broader partnership between Raffles Jakarta and MAP Retail Academy. It represents more than a single workshop; it reflects a shared vision to cultivate leaders who combine creativity with strategic intelligence.
As industries evolve, so must leadership.
And creativity is no longer optional.
It is strategic.

This partnership will grow through expanded executive programs, collaborative learning, and industry-integrated academic initiatives.
We will share more updates and joint initiatives soon as Raffles Jakarta and MAP Retail Academy strengthen their commitment to developing forward-thinking leaders.
