Professionals are called upon to solve problems on a daily basis. But how many people have the training necessary to creatively address those challenges?
The Minnesota Women in Communications Creative Problem Solving workshop offers participants skills that will encourage divergent thinking, idea generation, and help to break old habits that inhibit the evolution of new solutions. Through hands-on activities, we will examine together:
Prior to the workshop, pre-registered attendees will assess their own personal creativity inventory to better understand their own set of strengths as they relate to problem solving.Actions and beliefs that contribute to creative behavior;
The relationship between the creative process and the work environment;
Proven ideation techniques such as S.C.A.M.P.E.R. and Mindmapping;
Common barriers that get in the way of ideas and creative thinking.
Participants will leave with new insights into the flow of creativity and a renewed motivation to take on the challenges of the workplace.
This workshop is particularly useful for departments, work teams or cross-functional groups that are working together to address challenges or find solutions.
