Explore theories of creativity, problem-solving and more

This course is now delivered online as a series of live sessions which fully meet the learning objectives of face-to-face training.

We often settle for second best in terms of the quality of our output, particularly in the rush to meet deadlines and 'get things done'.

Here’s a chance to adopt a different approach and achieve better results. Specific tools and techniques for various phases of research can help address challenges – like a lack of idea-flow, low energy or poorly framed objectives – and dramatically improve the chances for conducting a successful session on ideas creation.

This course covers theories of creativity, the creative and analytic mindsets, problem-solving approaches, ideation and developing a creative practice.

Learning outcomes
  • Develop your creative competence and learn to think in new ways
