Being able to “think outside the box” is a crucial skill in today’s increasingly competitive work environment. You must find multiple ways of looking at your challenges and be more creative in how you think about, approach, and solve the problems you encounter. To aid in those efforts, this course introduces an approach for infusing creativity and lateral thinking into the problem-solving process. You will learn how to sharpen your capacity for creative thinking, use a variety of tools and techniques for creative problem solving, and unleash your creative energies.
About the Course
Overview
Organizations stagnate when they apply the same solutions to their problems; inevitably, new solutions will be needed. Introducing creativity into the problem-solving process opens new parameters, new ways of thinking, and innovative outcomes.
In this session, The Fishbone, random stimulation, Repetitive Why, and other creative strategies will be investigated and applied to team simulation exercises.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to
- Identify their potential for creative thinking and problem solving
- Explore blocks to creativity, along with models and tools for overcoming them
- Demonstrate and apply creative problem-solving and decision-making tools
- Develop a plan for integrating creative solutions to workplace problems
- Describe the importance of creativity and innovation to effective leaders
Who should take this course
This course is for anyone who would like to push the boundaries of what is possible at work by first expanding one’s limited thinking. Many people believe that they have “outgrown” their creative years and have accepted an increasingly narrow idea view of the world. This course shows the ways in which our thinking can become limited and it provides tools for pro-actively exercising the creative muscle at work.
