"All valuable creative ideas are logical in hindsight. However, initially they are usually invisible to logic. Lateral Thinking™ gives you the power to see"      "You can analyse the past but you have to design the future."       "Thinking is a skill that can be taught. Unless we teach thinking we waste over fifty per cent of the talent available in society."       “The quality of our thinking will determine the quality of our future” " Like the front left wheel of a car, our traditional thinking is excellent - but inadequate."       "Thinking is far too often concerned with the judgement of "what is" rather than the design of "what can be."        "Many highly intelligent people are poor thinkers. Many people of average intelligence are skilled thinkers. The power of a car is separate from the way the car is driven."       "Some people drift along like a cork on a river, feeling that they cannot do anything except drift, moment to moment. This is an attitude of mind. Everyone can be constructive even in tiny ways."       "Humour is by far the most significant activity of the human brain."       "If you never change your mind, why have one?"      "Perception is real even when it is not reality"       "You can analyse the past but you have to design the future"       "The quality of our future will depend directly on the quality of our thinking"        "If you do not design your own future, someone else will do it for you"       "In winning an argument you gain nothing, in losing you gain another point of view"       "A good idea never excludes a better one" "Intelligence is like the horse-power of a car - thinking is the skill with which the car is driven"       "You do not use the reverse gear all the time but when you need it you really do. It's the same with creativity"       "If you learn the successes of the past you risk being trapped by them"      "Possibility is to progress as hunger is to cooking"      "Everyone behaves logically within a personal bubble of perception, values and experience"      "Arrogance is the real system sin because it cuts the system off from reaction and reality"      "With a provocation there may not be a reason for saying something until after it is said"      ""I think therefore I am" I do, therefore I matter"

BrochureCourse in Creativity™

A course for Leaders, Teams and Individuals

Ready, set… be creative! It sounds silly but that is what we expect from our employees today. Creativity on demand. Better solutions. Fresh ideas. Now.

The search is on for how to ensure your organisation’s survival and prosperity into the future. What’s desperately needed, and often missing are proven, repeatable methods for producing creativity on demand. The ability to innovate.

The course in Creativity™ combines two time-tested results driven methodologies created by Edward de Bono – Six Thinking Hats® and Lateral Thinking™. As a result of learning the tools in these systems, participants will enhance their communication skills, generate more creative ideas, reduce conflict and improve team results.

Participants will learn how to:

Anticipate changes and prepare for the future (create and innovate)

  • Challenge the status quo
  • Make a habit of searching for creative ideas
  • Set priorities and create objectives in alignment with the priorities… focus
  • Learn how to move from concept to idea to tangible outcome
  • Make decisions and identify required resources

Implement with quality, speed, respect and value

  • Execute work plans on time and within budget
  • Optimize resources
  • Be accountable for results

The results are remarkable, immediate and will energize your entire organisation.

DuPont benchmarked every creativity process on the market for its Creativity Centre. Dr. David Tanner, former technical director at DuPont, says “the de Bono techniques were the most useful”. An employee’s suggestion – the reengineering of a manufacturing process for Kevlar® - eliminated nine steps in the manufacturing process as a result of using de Bono techniques and saved DuPont $30 million dollars.
