The curriculum in this highly interactive program utilizes research-based methodologies and techniques to build creative thinking skills and stimulate creative problem solving.
Through intensive group discussions and small-group exercises, you will focus on topics such as:
- The Creative Problem Solving process: a researched, learnable, repeatable process for uncovering new and useful ideas. This process includes a “how to” on clarifying, ideating, developing, and implementing new solutions to intractable problems
- The cognitive preferences that drive how we approach problems, and how to leverage those cognitive preferences for individual and team success
- How to develop—and implement— a methodology that overcomes barriers to innovative thinking and fosters the generation of new ideas, strategies, and techniques
- The role of language, including asking the right questions, in reframing problems, challenging assumptions, and driving successful creative problem solving
- Fostering a culture that values, nurtures, and rewards creative solutions
