Creative Thinking and Problem Solving

Course Description

With increasing standardisation through technology, the business world is sorely in need of creativity and new ideas. The pressures of work, however, make it very difficult for us to break out of our everyday routines and “think outside the box”. The objective of this course is to provide participants with the tools and methods they need to develop creative thinking techniques that they can apply in diverse situations.

The course demonstrates practical techniques to solve problems and to stimulate your creative thinking instead of simply using traditional methods. Participants will come to recognise their lateral and logical abilities and gain self-confidence to deal with day-to-day issues, problems and challenges. The course is extremely interactive with a high number of practical exercises.
