  Lateral Thinking® & Serious Creativity
 
This course will help you to continuously improve the process by which you run your business. Identifying the ability to look at things differently, develop new concepts and generate fresh ideas.
 

Creative thinking is becoming vital to meet the challenge facing companies in this new millennium. This one day workshop will show you how and why creative thinking is a learnable set of skills

Alternatives
Learn how to extract the concept behind a group of alternatives and then use it to generate further alternatives.
Focus
Identify when and how to change the focus of your thinking and then and sticking to it. Generate and use a Creative Hit List.
Challenge
Breaking free from the limits of accepted ways of operating with a willingness to explore the reasons why we do things the way we do when there are other alternatives.
Random Entry
Using unconnected input and information to open new lines of thinking.
Provocation & Movement
Provocation techniques challenge the nature of perception and its limitations. Movement is the new alternative to judgment, a process that enables us to develop a provocative idea into one that is workable and realistic.
Harvesting
Learn how to deliberately collect ideas that are well less developed, as well as the ideas that seem practical and have obvious value.
