Day One
The course content may include many of the exercises listed below, and any additional material that the trainers feel is relevant to the delegates on the day.
How are you Creative?
What does Creativity mean to you?How creative are you on a scale from 1 to 10?
Thinking and the brain
Sometimes not being on the same page as someone youre collaborating with may be down to which side of the brain you are both operating from. If one is coming at a problem from left brain thinking and the other from a right brain perspective, how might they appeal to each other and possibly bring them over to a different way of operating?Generating Ideas
Delegates take a look at how ordinary and common behaviours can be orchestrated into a process of Creativity and Innovation within their professional world.They will also explore how people might see the world from a different perspective and explore the different viewpoints of others and ways in which the gap can be bridged around communications in the industry.
Quantity vs Quality
As research endlessly reveals, ground-breaking and innovative ideas come from quantity rather than quality of ideas. Here we explore the concept of keeping the ideas flowing and the creative channels open and being able to identify when it is time to converge down to a solution.
Brainstorming: Asking the Right Questions
Many creativity sessions and brainstorming workshops can falter due to not knowing specifically what one issue or problem a team should be focussing on. We explore a range of techniques to help delegates identify the key issue they are looking to create ideas around.
Converge to an Innovation
Delegates now begin to form the idea or innovation by collating the material and deciding which ideas have the most potential for development.
Ideas Auction
Participants begin to evaluate their ideas by reviewing what has been generated and placing an imaginary value from 1 to 100 on each idea.
Measuring Ideas and Innovation
Getting the Measure of Your Success! Delegates look at how they can begin to measure ideas and innovation for their organisation.
