Training Workshops
Practical, Engaging Learning for Today’s Workplace
Innovative Thinking Training
Delivered in person
This Innovative Thinking Training session equips professionals and teams to move beyond the status quo, spark curiosity, and develop creative confidence. In an environment where challenges evolve quickly and disruption is constant, innovation isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity.
Each topic can be delivered as a standalone module or combined with other topics to support a variety of formats and lengths – fully customizable to your group’s timeframe, context, and goals, as long as the same trainer facilitates the sessions.
Creativity is not something a person either has or doesn’t have, nor is it synonymous with artistic abilities. The fact is that everyone is creative – just not in the same way. Just as there are different types of intelligence (traditional IQ, emotional intelligence or EQ, and social intelligence or SI), there are multiple types of creativity. To that end, this highly interactive course will help participants discover, develop, and apply their individual creativity style in a variety of workplace settings.
The course also focuses on how individual creativity can be leveraged to increase team, department, and organization-wide innovation. Participants will learn the important differences between improvement and innovation, as well as tips and techniques to improve in both.
