Online Creative Problem Solving by Billy Grierson

About the training

#Creative Problem-Solving   #Problem-Solving   #thinking skills   #decision making   #problem analysis   #focus

This series of webinars is based on a framework for creative problem-solving that has been developed over a period of 20 years. The webinars use a gardening analogy (called The Concept Garden – for details see below) to clarify the problem-solving process. Participants in the workshop are introduced to the Concept Garden Framework, some important concepts, and thinking tools and techniques that help to ensure that effective solutions are found and prepared for implementation.

Outcome: Participants will learn the main elements of creative problem-solving and gain working experience of key tools. After the webinar, participants will be familiar with tools that help to analyse a problem, identify possible solutions and build these into detailed concepts which can be brought forward as proposed projects. Using an interactive approach, the participants will be given an opportunity to work with the tools and techniques to develop their problem-solving capabilities.

Duration: Five webinars of an hour to an hour and a half each. These can be run on five consecutive days, one day a week for five weeks, or whatever schedule suits you.

Timing: Dates and times will be agreed with the client.

Documentation: Participants will be sent handouts after each webinar and a full text “manual”, in pdf format, will be sent at the end of the series.

Follow-up: It is proposed that a short (1 to 2 hour) debrief session is held about 3 to 6 months after the final day of the workshop, to allow the participants to give feedback on how effective the training has been.
