This workshop offers participants a fun and energizing exploration of a topic central to success of any organization. Through engaging activities and discussions, participants will be called upon to re-examine commonly held assumptions on creativity, reflect on what might be holding them back creatively, and learn how to work more efficiently as a team on creative projects. This program also offers participants the chance to learn—and put into practice—concepts and techniques that ultimately lead to more meaningful, purposeful, and sustainable innovation practices in a business environment. Along the way, we’ll explore long-established and highly celebrated theories on creativity and imagination and examine strategies for further developing our creative problem solving skills.
