Training Overview:

‘If you always do what you always did, you always get what you always got’.

The pace of change in business is accelerating, and creative ideas are essential for keeping up with the pace. Creativity is the first step towards innovation – it is the process of generating ideas, but there is more to it than that. The ideas generated by the creative process must be workable. There is no creative value in an idea which cannot be applied.

It is no longer enough to have a few creative people in the organisation; you need to have an organisation of creative and innovative people.

Who should attend:

This workshop is aimed at business professionals who, must generate ideas, solve problems, motivate their people and generally move the company forward: directors, managers, specialists, consultants, sales people and project managers etc.
