Creative Thinking
You work in a business or functional area where your ability to think broadly and come up with new and innovative ideas, product, solutions or ways of getting things done can make the difference between failure and success. This stimulating one day programme will build your understanding of how you and your colleagues can think and work more creatively. We will introduce you to practical tools and techniques that support the development of a more creative environment for identifying and solving work problems.
Benefits
By the end of the programme you will be able to:
- appreciate the importance of creative thinking to successful organisations
- understand the link between creative thinking, problem solving and innovation
- identify and overcome blockages that limit creative potential
- use a range of creative techniques to address workplace challenges
- foster creativity throughout your team.
Approach
This one day programme is high energy and very participative. Practical exercises are punctuated by periods of reflection and discussion to allow participants to make links to their own experiences. This is a stimulating day in itself, but participants are also challenged to demonstrate how they will use their learning to make a real difference in their workplace.
Who should attend?
Anyone who needs to solve work or organisational problems and/or use more creative thinking in their everyday activities.
