Within each of us there exists an infinite capacity for creating ideas and nurturing them through to innovation. However, while we are all born with an abundance of creative potential, we continually place limitations on ourselves, preventing the flow of ideas and inhibiting creativity. Creativity is not available on demand. It is a learned process. The emphasis of this Learning Short-take is on pragmatic tools and techniques to successfully unlock creative potential.
This Learning Short-take combines creativity tools with typical business scenarios to practice lateral thinking. These scenarios will help to stretch participant thinking by deliberately challenging existing perspectives and considering alternative ways of working.
The Learning Short-take is designed for completion in approximately 90 minutes.
Learning Objectives
- Undertake a self-assessment in creativity.
- List personal and organizational creative contributions.
- Choose personal creative techniques to be used in the workplace.
- Match group creativity techniques with case study applications.
- Use six thinking hats to solve a business challenge.
