Creative Thinking Course

Develop creativity through our creative thinking tools to enhance productivity at work

Creative thinking is not something you are born with; it is a skill that can be improved with practice. The brain can be likened to a well-designed car; it needs an efficient driver to exploit its full potential.

There is always another way to do it, it might be cheaper, quicker or sell more. Creative thinking and writing is a great asset.

With so many developing companies the need to come up with a fresh look and to get and keep the competitive edge, is immense. Our creative thinking course provides many techniques to give you a wide choice of options to keep ahead of the competition.

Our creative thinking course will help individuals develop their creativity and the creativity of others to enhance productivity at work. You will learn and apply simple creative thinking tools and techniques to generate creative ideas.

If you are a trainer this course will also help you develop creative staff training.

“You see things and say why? But I dream things that never were and I say, why not?” George Bernard Shaw

Who will benefit from our creative thinking course:

Supervisors, managers and anyone who would benefit the organisation through innovative and creative thinking.

Duration: 1 day

By the end of the creative thinking course delegates will be able to…

  • use specific tools and strategies to help you think more creatively and more effectively
  • think beyond the needs of the present moment
  • develop creative thinking in yourself and your team
  • develop creative writing
  • show increased ability to implement new ideas
  • combine creativity with proven problem solving skills
  • apply practical techniques to aid problem solving, decision making and generating new ideas
  • remove blocks to creativity
  • produce mind drawings
  • practice critical thinking
  • apply lateral thinking
  • increase your confidence in implementing new ideas
  • use creative thinking techniques.

Testimonials from our Creative Thinking courses

“The trainer really got my brain thinking differently. The mind mapping and new ways to help the creative process i.e. SCAMPER and using the images to help lateral thinking were most useful. It has been really been worth it.”H. Davis – UK Greetings
It was very useful finding new ways to approach a subject and apply a different breakdown of problem solving. The course was enjoyable to the end.”B. Bradley – Videojet
“A good session with a nice mix of group and tutor lead activities. Good eye-opener as to the need to be creative in looking at problems.”J. King – Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy
“The tutor was excellent, very approachable and kept everyone's attention. It was most useful to learn the different techniques and will help me at work and at home.”P. Hunter – Palm Europe Ltd

We believe that learning should be enjoyable and interesting. This is why we often use some of a training activity called “The Creative Business Company” as part of the course. This training resource helps individuals and teams develop the creative thinking skills that are required for effective corporate teamwork.
