Creative Thinking
Get your Creative Juices Flowing

Organisations and individuals must encourage and promote creative thinking and innovation in order to be successful. In his book “A Whole New Mind”, Daniel Pink suggests that the 21st century is the Conceptual Age, where successful individuals and organisations will be those who think creatively, generate new ideas and concepts, and innovate effectively.
 
Research has shown that history’s greatest thinkers, from Leonardo Da Vinci to Walt Disney, and from Steve Jobs to Charles Darwin, all used strategies which enabled them to generate new and brilliant ideas and solutions by thinking differently.
 
This workshop will introduce some of these strategies and help you change the way you look at and think about issues. It will help you to unlock your own creativity as well as giving you the tools to develop greater creativity in your team or organisation. You’ll learn

  • What creativity is and where it comes from
  • Why creativity is important for you and your company
  • How the mind works and how it can be persuaded to work more creatively
  • The difference between reproductive and productive thinking
  • How to create the right conditions for creativity
  • How to use a range of creative thinking techniques for problem-solving, decision-making and generating ideas
  • How to increase your own personal creativity and that of your company
