After participating in this seminar, participants will be able to creatively solve problems and make better, more focused decisions. Participants examine how to plan, develop, and create processes, products or projects by thinking about them from different cognitive styles, logical levels, time frames and perceptual positions. Participants also learn a “new” technical, creative and problem solving process that they actually apply to a specific problem during the workshop.
