The Creativity Course: Essential Skills to Drive Innovation
Innovate or fall behind. The competitive imperative for virtually all businesses today is that simple.
Responding to that command is difficult, however, because innovation takes place when different ideas, perceptions, and ways of processing and judging information collide. And it often requires collaboration among players who see the world differently.
As a result, conflict that should take place constructively among ideas all too often ends up taking place unproductively among people. Disputes become personal, the creative process breaks down.
This highly entertaining session contains valuable insights into the many facets of creativity, innovation and brainstorming -- and some helpful techniques that you can use to leverage it in your own work environment.
