BUSINESS CHALLENGE
This programme develops the ability to think with foresight and creativity for greater success in any situation, and to lead others to do the same individually and in teams. The programme teaches transformational thought processes used by visionary leaders and innovators, which can be applied to immediate problem-solving and longer term strategising.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Participants will benefit from attending this programme if they:
Want practical tools they can use every day for creative problem solving, strategising and future-thinking
Are in a position whereby creative solutions to old, new or potential challenges are needed
Are leading, or are involved in, projects of innovation and change, and require tested and successful tools for focusing and managing the efforts, and maintaining the momentum
Wish to develop a culture of innovation and openness to new ideas in a team, department or company
LEARNING OUTCOMES
On successful completion of this programme, it is expected you will have the tools to be able to:
Appreciate the nature and significance of strategic thinking for success at personal, team and organisational levels
Understand how your mind codes time and use this to enhance your own and others’ foresight, planning and motivated commitment to goals
Understand why imagination is more important than knowledge, and how to resolve apparent double-binds, dilemmas and indecisiveness
Access creative mind-sets for yourself and others as needed, using brain-science and proven techniques for going to the insights, rather than waiting for them to arise
Lead or support a culture of healthy innovation for sustained team or organisational learning (the pre-requisite for lasting success)
Facilitate meetings to use focused sessions of co-creativity and foresight
Initiate and manage projects of innovation, and bring sufficient innovation to all projects
