How to Master the Art of Problem Solving, Decision Making & Creative Thinking
Training Course Description
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand,
imagination points to all we might yet discover and create.” ~ Albert Einstein The recent significant progress in technology has increased our communication and reach and this has made the environment highly competitive. To survive in this competitive market, people need to do everything they can to stand out and win or risk falling to the bottom. It is now clear that those who innovate and use creativity in their roles in just about any job stand to succeed while those who don’t use all the resources at their disposal may be overrun by others. Creativity is not something people are born with; it is a skill. Like any other skill it can be mastered and channelled towards specific goals with incredible results. This one-day course attempts to teach people how to be creative using specific set of tools and techniques. Significant research and studies have proven that such techniques will increase individual’s creativity. Innovative organisations don’t rely on geniuses to create the next best product or service. Instead, they work hard to create an innovation-friendly environment that energises the staff and helps to bring the best out of everyone.
This carefully designed course contains several step-by-step guides to teach delegates how to increase their creativity. The workbook and the trainer notes contain everything a trainer needs to teach delegates about creativity. You can’t learn creativity unless you practice it. Extensive exercises with detailed instructions allow the tutor to guide and monitor the delegates in exercises based on the techniques discussed in the course. Optional exercises are also provided to train those delegates working within a team on creative brainstorming and problem solving. The best way to learn about creativity is to practice it through exercises. Practical exercises were therefore of an abject importance in the design of this course. The creativity and innovation course is constructed following these guidelines:
For the rest of the course, go through several techniques one by one followed by a specific exercise for that technique. As you go through the course, some techniques might be used again or morphed into new techniques. This repetition helps the delegates to master the skills during the course which is your overall objective. In general, you want to convince the delegates that creativity is not something special that people are born with. Instead, having seen various techniques during the course, they will start to see a pattern used in these methods that should convince them about the overall principles and the effectiveness of the structured approach. |
In this highly practical course delegates will learn:
Introduction to Creativity
Principles of Creativity
Process of Creativity

By the end of this course the delegates will be able to:
The Philosophy Behind Creativity & Innovation Training Course
This course contains several popular creativity techniques that have passed the test of time and are truly effective. At INNOWISE, we use these techniques extensively ourselves and we like to
preach what we practice. Our experience shows that a large number of people believe that creativity is something you are born with. This group of people therefore think that they don’t have the talent or the potential necessary for creative roles. The good news is that you don’t have to be an artist to be creative. Just learning this point is enough to catapult an individual forward to achieve a lot more than they ever did by starting to use everything their brains offer.

Just learning this point is enough to catapult an individual forward to achieve a lot more than they ever did by starting to use everything their brains offer. Lack of awareness and training about creativity tools and techniques means significant loss of resources for many organizations. Steps can be taken to unlock employee’s creative powers through effective creativity training which explains the concept of creativity and innovation and changes individuals’ perception about these topics. As a result of this observation, this course is specially designed to help people become significantly more creative by following systematic step-by-step techniques that are easy to understand and execute. In other words, the techniques help delegates to forget their perceived weakness in creative tasks and instead focus on following a structured process. The result is that magical creativity is achieved through as specific process and not through a person’s genius capability which might be perceived as non-existent. These techniques increase the delegate’s confidence and they in turn become better at traditional creative tasks. The more confident they feel, the easier it is to free themselves from erroneous perceptions. This course contains a variety of techniques to accommodate all tastes and addresses many angles. If used correctly (and passionately), even a single technique is enough to achieve creativity. |
