About this course
What your team will learn
Our original creativity training course and our most popular, with good reason! People love this creative thinking masterclass for its curated selection of creativity processes and tools that will help you generate ideas and drive innovation.
This highly-rated (with a NPS of 80) and practical course has immediate application for participants back in their businesses. It will improve your group collaboration and brainstorm facilitation skills, too.
Whatever your creative challenge, this course will help to rewire how you think, whether you have 10 minutes to ponder, an hour, a day or a week. The tools we use give you the confidence to generate useful, creative ideas that will help fuel your marketing campaigns and boost innovation in any area of your company.
We use a mix of methodologies for this course, most notably creative problem solving (or CPS) – a way of using applied creativity to develop new ideas and solutions to problems. This kind of thinking leads to better creative outcomes,
The fundamentals of the process are based on separating divergent and convergent thinking styles so that you can focus on generating ideas first without judgement and then evaluating with criteria as the second stage. And then planning how to execute them!
It’s all about developing a creative mindset that will help you to generate original ideas and, of course, enhance creativity. This course is packed full of creative thinking techniques that will help you to shine when smart solutions are called for.
