Description

Thanks for your interest in the Creative Problem Solving on-demand course!

So many of us are facing challenges we haven't encountered or thought about before in these times of a Global Pandemic. It doesn't matter if these problems are big, or small, whether it's:

How can I remain motivated working from home wither other pressures of children and partners?
How can I keep furloughed team members engaged?
How can I manage my daily routine so that I am productive?
What can I do to support my community? And many more

We really want you to be as passionate as us about the behaviours and tools of problem solving so that you can embed it in to your day to day work, and enjoy the benefits of better creativity, and innovation agility to work smarter with a better output.

This course is not about giving you the answers; it's about equipping you with a process, practical tools, mindset and understanding to face your challenges and solve them in a creative way.
