Creativity and Innovation CourseOpen Creativity and Innovation Course(Click here for Tailored Creativity and Innovation Training)Are you Too Smart Too Soon? This one-day high energy Creativity and Innovation workshop will help you create innovative solutions to challenges both huge and small. Creativity and Innovation is run by If you are able to see the solution to a problem fairly quickly due to your expert ability and technical knowledge you may need help. Wait a minute! That doesn't make sense, does it? OK, so why would a quick solution finder need help? Because your skill may be holding you in a comfortable and predictable pattern of behaviour that stops you from expressing your full creative potential. On this Creativity and Innovation workshop, you will discover that not only can you increase your creative options but also allow the truly innovative solutions to develop and form, benefiting the team, the product and the company. Creativity and Innovation Course Objectives* A fresh look at the capacity for creativity* Leading edge thinking on product/service innovation * Examining the process of being creative * To delay the impulse to leap to solution * An experiential day of discovery * Make Brainstorming Work * Learn to Think Laterally * To have a whole heap of fun * Innovative and unusual brainstorming techniques Creativity and Innovation ProgrammeCycle of Creativity to InnovationExploring the journey from Creativity (generating ideas) to Innovation (making ideas real and usable) begins with: Delegates bring an idea, project or problem they want to work on during the session. They then begin a dynamic and unique process called the 'Cycle of Creativity to Innovation'. During the process delegates will identify how they personally approach and experience the creative impulse. Generating Ideas - Five windows of creativity It's not a question of 'how creative are you?' but rather 'how are you creative?' This process illustrates Impact Factory's central principal of working with what already works about you. The 5 windows represent different approaches to the creative process and help to identify your individual creativity. By understanding the 5 windows we can also look through a different window for an alternative perspective. By using different aspects of our creative mind we can generate more choices. We have developed this highly effective tool as a process to slow down the 'Too smart Too soon' effect of the first solution or idea. Often we can quickly find an appropriate solution that will work but is often not the best or most innovative. By using different aspects of our creative mind we can generate more choices. Pitching and Presenting your ideas with passion Having creative ideas and innovative solutions is not enough. We have to be able to communicate our concepts and get buy in. We are more likely to get buy in for our ideas if we present them with conviction. Delegates will explore how to convey their ideas in a way that connects with others on an emotional level using passion. Forming the Innovation The final processes will focus on bringing to life innovative solutions to the issues brought into the session by the participants. Pairs go back to ideas generated in illogical combinations or 'Pass the Creativity Baton' and design a product. This process acts as a warm up for the next stage where participants tackle a work related problem or issue they have brought adapting the 'Cycle of Innovation' process as a problem solver. This will result in participants producing several innovative solutions that will be both relevant and usable. Wrapping Up Participants are given an opportunity to pitch their best ideas from the day to the group in our light hearted version of the 'Dragons Den'. This process is both fun and enlightening as we begin to explore each idea using our 'Innovation Evaluation Tool.' Delegates are then invited to share what they discovered on the Creativity and Innovation Workout about their personal approach to creativity and what they found useful. They then identify where they might begin to apply the techniques back in the workplace. Creativity and Innovation Workout
