5 This exercise is suitable for artist from all disciplines. This first exercise asks you to fill in a diagnosis tool which will help you reflect on where you already have strengths in relation to the skills sets for entrepreneurship and where you need to work to build your skills further. We recommend that everyone fill in the diagnosis tool and review your results before proceeding to complete other exercises. STEP 1: Start by completing the Creative Attributes Framework for Enterprise Reflection Tool. It is a survey which takes about 20 minutes to complete. It can be found through this link: https://glos.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/creativeattributesframework STEP 2 You will be provided a set of results which will include your scores against each (closer to 5 being your strengths and closer to 1 being areas you need to build further) and a diagram that will help you compare them. Please review your results and answer the following questions, writing your answers down: • Which two areas are you strongest at? • Which two areas do you most need to build? STEP 3: Using the following table, plan for how you are going to use your strengths and build on your areas for development.
