Some of the best business ideas and new products have resulted from innovative thinking. Why? The most creative people see options more than they see problems. Creative problem solving involves a mix of divergent and convergent thinking - our ability to both generate options and evaluate them to select the best one. Our capacity to be innovative also makes us more flexible, often able to work better with others and to contribute valuable new ideas to our work teams. Have you ever wanted to learn to be more of an "out of the box" thinker? Now you can! Join us for this experiential workshop and learn to: utilize multiple ways of thinking, frame problems as questions, use generative brainstorming, and suspend judgement in solving old problems in new ways.

Presented by: Jamie Hansen
