In a rapidly changing world, fresh ideas and insights are essential and sometimes difficult to find. Research indicates that seeking novel or 'wild' ideas can lead to better solutions (Harvard Business Review, November 2019). However, many organisations struggle to develop enough exciting, yet viable ideas. Removing operational constraints, adapting attitudes and recognising the importance of deliberate creativity will help stimulate unconstrained ideation and lead to solutions that deliver.

 

In this Masterclass, you will look at the tools and techniques to generate novel ideas for the problems and opportunities your organisation faces. You will learn how individuals and teams approach creativity to tackle the barriers that impede effective ideation and build the bridges to enhance effective ideation.

 

What topics will be covered?

• Creating the right environment for generating ideas;
• Tools and techniques for divergent thinking;
• Tools and techniques for convergent thinking;
• An introduction to the Basadur Innovation profile for individuals and teams.

 

On completion of the Masterclass, you will be able to:

• Create an environment conducive to originality and creativity;
• Apply tools and techniques for fostering divergent and convergent thinking;
• Plan an ideation session online and in-person.

 

On completion of the Masterclass a Certificate of Completion will be provided.
