Problem Solving with Creative and Critical Thinking

The ability to think creatively and critically is not an innate trait of only geniuses. Instead, thinking creatively and critically is a universal human potential and a skill that anyone and everyone can develop. When we are stuck with a problem, what most of us lack isn't cognitive spark but the thinking tools to help us unravel it. Problem Solving with Creative and Critical Thinking equips learners with a repeatable system for generating creative ideas, structuring them, and refining them into practical solutions. During the course, individual participants will work through live problems and walk away with hands-on experience applying the concepts they have learned. Group participants will also get to run real brainstorming and ideation sessions.
