CORPORATE TRAINING PROGRAMS

UNBOXING THROUGH CREATIVITY & INNOVATION

Objective:


The only difference between creative and uncreative people is self-perception. Creative people see themselves as creative and give themselves the freedom to create. Uncreative people do not think about creativity and do not give themselves the opportunity to create anything new.

Being creative may just be a matter of setting aside the time needed to take a step back and allow yourself to ask yourself if there is a better way of doing something. Another important attitude-shift is to view problems as opportunities for improvement. While this is something of a cliché, it is true. Whenever you solve a problem, you have a better product or service to offer afterwards.

The tools that you will be taught in this training program can help you to become more creative. The focus here will be on THREE main MODELS: SCAMPER, CREATIVITY and OPENED for Creativity & Innovation at the workplace. They are designed to help you devise creative and imaginative solutions to problems, and help you to spot opportunities that you might otherwise miss. Many of the techniques we introduce here have been used by great thinkers to drive their creativity.

Hence, the objective of this 2-day seminar cum workshop is to impress upon participants the awareness that we are all born creative, and that we can all apply creativity at the workplace if we are taught how to do so, and given an opportunity to practice our creative thinking skills.

This seminar cum workshop assists employees in “transforming” their creative thinking skills into “innovation” at the workplace. Innovation can be seen in products, services and processes. The primary objective will be to equip employees with the knowledge and skills to create a creative working environment which propagates creativity and innovation.
