Introduction
Innovation very often leads to successful change in work practices and organisational strategy. For this to happen, every member of the management team must challenge accepted norms and embrace more creative methods of problem solving.

Typical Objectives:

	Applying creative thinking tools and techniques to create new ideas
	Exploring how innovation can be managed in organisations
	Developing independent, transferable skills that encourage others to embrace creativity
	Nurturing innovation and offering guidance
	Evaluating and selecting the best new ideas to develop and what to do with the rest
	Getting practical - innovation without application is wasted.

Sample Programme
We will give guidance on how to challenge and adapt your approach to problems, so that you can metaphorically ‘turn that light on’! This in turn will enable you to reassess and exploit external and internal information resources for potentially effective solutions.

You will learn and apply effective creative thinking tools and techniques to generate creative ideas and original solutions.
