Creative Thinking for Problem Solving

This workshop is a structured approach to out-of-the-box thinking. You’ll learn real-world tools and techniques you can use alone and with your teams to help solve complicated problems when a solution is not readily apparent. We're generally asked to access and use our analytical thinking skills in the workplace. In this course, you'll stop to look at the real problems you face in the workplace and learn how to apply a different, more creative mindset to solve those problems and come up with new, innovative ideas. Don't worry, this course isn't just for "creative-types." It's for anyone looking to enhance the way they work by expanding their sense of curiosity and creative thinking skills.
