Creative Problem Solving

(20 seats left!)

In today’s fast-changing environment, many professionals feel stuck when facing complex challenges, relying on the same old solutions that no longer work. Teams often struggle with unfocused discussions, conflicting ideas, and “analysis paralysis.” Creative Problem Solving helps break that cycle by teaching a structured, human-centered approach to tackling problems with clarity, creativity, and confidence.

Inspired by principles from Design Thinking and tools like the 6 Thinking Hats, this course equips participants to uncover real needs, reframe problems, and generate fresh, actionable ideas. It empowers teams to think boldly, collaborate effectively, and turn challenges into opportunities for innovation and growth.

Inclusions: AM & PM snacks, lunch, worksheets, and a Certificate of Attendance
