Creative Business Company Business Game

30+ creative & lateral thinking exercises used by top companies to increase creativity & problem solving skills

Description

Key source of icebreakers and energisers, or can be run as a continuous team building activity.

Organisations that survive and thrive are not the ones with the deepest pockets; they’re those that unleash and apply their workforce’s creativity. This game is a great way to develop that creativity.

Our Creative Business Company game has something for the ‘thinkers’ and the ‘doers’. It helps individuals and teams develop the creative thinking skills required for effective corporate teamwork.

  • Use the materials provided to make a shape that will fit into three different shaped holes
  • Get a team member’s body through a postcard
  • A computer malfunction means planes are approaching an airport towards each other. Re-arrange them to ensure they land safely.
  • Escape from being ‘handcuffed’ from a partner
  • Arrange 6 matches so they make nothing!
  • Which is the odd one out: Brilliant, Bassoon, Carpet, Cattle, Dabble, Delight
  • Use 6 matches to form 4 triangles
  • From the clues supplied, identify the time of the murder
  • Push the cup through the hole (the hole is smaller than the cup).

This creative and lateral thinking game also develops:

  • Resourcefulness
  • Problem solving
  • Reading instructions carefully
  • Considering all options
  • Thinking inside and outside the box
  • Conflict management
  • Effective teamwork.

The exercises are ideal for a trainer to use on a creative thinking or problem solving course, as an ice breaker or energiser, for corporate team building or as part of a conference, seminar, or offsite.

  • Participants’ Activities: Separate briefing sheets of the activities and exercises. You can select those you want to use, or use them all
  • Trainer’s Activities: The briefing sheets for the participants and suggested answers (team’s often find other creative answers)
  • Trainer’s Guide: A great resource for training creative thinking. The guide provides information on how to introduce creative thinking; some icebreakers and details of a number of techniques that you can use to achieve a creative answer to a problem.

In response to popular demand, we now have a version of the Creative Business Company training game which can be played remotely.
