Creative Thinking & Problem Solving

Creative thinking is not a talent, it is a skill that can be learnt. It empowers people by adding strength to their natural abilities which improves teamwork, productivity and where appropriate profits.
Edward De Bono

Creative thinking techniques can act as a springboard for innovation and ideas, contribute towards higher quality decision making and within a team setting can generate energy and team synergy. Problem solving often involves decision making and our natural personalities inform our decision making processes. Some of the variables include, speed, the amount of information we need to feel comfortable, whether we tend to rely on logic or 'gut-feeling' and how important it is for us to keep our options open. Effective problem solving and decision making are essential skills in life and business, for leadership & management.

This course is designed for anyone who wishes to inject some creativity into their environment and improve their decision making skills. It has been designed to give a fundamental process for problem solving, which gives a logical method for considering and fixing problems and contains a mix of techniques that represent a range of active experimentation, logical, reflective and creative tools.
