Problem Solving Training for Better Decisions & Outcomes

Course description

In today’s fast-moving workplace, creativity isn’t about waiting for inspiration—it’s about building a reliable system for generating and developing great ideas on demand. Creative Problem Solving: Idea Generation & Expansion gives learners a practical, repeatable framework to spark innovation, break through creative blocks, and produce high-quality ideas that teams can actually use. This course bridges structure and imagination, helping participants move confidently from a vague challenge to a clear set of viable solutions. Through short, focused lessons, learners will master proven techniques used by leading innovation teams worldwide—including brainwriting for inclusive idea generation, mind mapping for expansion and connection, assumption busting for challenging bias, and reverse brainstorming for discovering hidden opportunities. Each method is presented through simple, real-world examples that make creative thinking feel achievable, even for those who don’t consider themselves “creative.” Learners will practice turning problems into prompts, generating large volumes of ideas quickly, and refining them into clear, shareable solutions that can drive business results. By the end of the course, participants will have a complete Idea Generation Toolkit—a set of repeatable techniques and templates they can use to run their own creative sessions. The result? Teams that think broader, collaborate better, and consistently turn sparks of inspiration into tangible progress.
