Face-to-Face Workshop Content
Each participant identifies a current workplace project, initiative, challenge, problem or issue they are working on prior to the workshop.
In the workshop each participant applies the 6-Step Creative Thinking Model to his or her identified area so that the workshop is both personal and meaningful for each individual.
- define the project, initiative, challenge, problem or issue in 12 words or less.
- we identify the cause/s using the “why/why” technique.
- participants do “green light thinking” to come up with as many ideas/solutions for their project, initiative, problem, challenge or issue.
- participants do “red light thinking” to identify their best solution/s. Participants use a very powerful technique called the Hassle-Impact Matrix to arrive at their best solution/s.
- we use The 4P’s Model to get buy-in for our solution/s.
- we look at the only two questions that need to be asked in order to monitor and evaluate our proposed solution/s.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.”
Albert Einstein
