Course in Creativity August 18, 2009

---

The Course in Creativity combines and integrates two of Dr. Edward de Bono's
powerful thinking programs; the program in parallel thinking, Six Thinking Hats;
and the program for innovation and creativity, Lateral Thinking. This program
can be designed in a special executive, limited group size format for on-site
delivery; one full day, and five half days, spread over a period of several
weeks to strengthen your learning experience. You not only learn to effectively
use Dr. de Bono's powerful methods, but also will employ them to focus on live
and relevant business issues. These thinking methods are like 'software for the
mind', and the applications are endless for individual, team and organizational
use. Using the Parallel Thinking techniques of Six Thinking Hats you
will learn to: *Solve problems more efficiently and effectively with more
buy-in *Turn problems into opportunities *Make higher quality decisions
and reduce conflict *Hold and lead shorter, more productive meetings
*Use Parallel Thinking as a group to make higher quality decisions *Make
thorough evaluations *Effectively involve more people in the decision making
process *Create dynamic, results-oriented meetings that make people want to
participate Using the Lateral Thinking tools, you will learn to:
*Increase the number of new and practical ideas dramatically*Challenge
your organizations' current thinking (constructively) *Be creative when you
need it most *Create new products, processes, and services *Attack
problems with more and better ideas to get immediate results *Create an
attitude and real atmosphere of entrepreneurship *Think 'outside the box' on
demand *Make creative, innovative, collaborative and entrepreneurial
thinking part of your everyday work life For more information, please go
