Does your department or organisation need to be more creative? Or, do you want to make creativity an integral part of your organisation. In either case, Creativity in Business is the programme we recommend.
This is a comprehensive programme which runs over two full days. It provides practical techniques to ensure you gain a good understanding of the creative process. As a result, you will return to your organisation able to confidently implement what you have learnt.
Content
The approach is on 'showing, doing and experiencing' rather than 'telling'. There is very little sitting and listening. Team working is encouraged and enhanced.
All key creativity techniques will be covered more than once, in different ways, in order to cement learning. You will develop practical techniques to aid problem-solving, decision-making, the generation of new ideas and brainstorming. The programme also covers:
 |

Creativity exercises and self assessment – an exercise to benchmark creativity and raise awareness of what it is |
|
The creative process – where ideas come from and the underlying process |
