In an era of rapid change, organisations need their staff to be creative and innovative.
This isn't just a matter of what we do but of how we do it - creativity is just as much a feature of 'boring' management process flows as 'exciting' product development. This means creativity and innovation aren't simply nice-to-have skills - they're essential for success at every level in every organisation.
While some people seem 'naturally' creative, in reality innovative thinking can be developed by anyone. This workshop provides a great introduction to the creative process. You'll learn how to challenge existing thinking and generate new ideas - and how to make sure the best of them are captured and implemented.
Delivery: Available as a full-day, half-day, bite-sized programme or webinar. Virtual and in-house delivery options.
