Overview 

The ability to think creatively has been ranked as the most desirable skill in employees. Using creative problem-solving skills allows you to see existing problems through a new lens and provides you with solutions that you wouldn’t typically adopt in the workplace. Business today is as lean as it can get, so employers are constantly searching for new solutions to enhance their workforce. Developing creative thinking skills can therefore provide endless benefits to you and your organisation.

This short course introduces you to creative problem-solving techniques. The course explores what a problem is, how we can address simple and complex problems, traditional brain models for problem solving and how and why these are limiting.

By taking part in this course, you will experience the benefits of creative thinking and cognitive and creative problem-solving. You will also get the opportunity to practice new techniques such as Force Fit Triggers, Imaging, Morphological Analysis, and gain an introduction to the use of Synectic techniques.
