- Remove barriers to hinder creativity.
- Analyse systematically a target problem.

LEARNING METHODOLOGY
The aim of this simulation-driven course is to get the delegates practice these techniques in a simulated environment working on smaller problems. This allows them to learn how these techniques work.
If the delegates are from the same organisation, you can also run it as a team building course where delegates go through a shared experience while solving problems. They will learn how to work together and improve their communication skills.
The course is also effective if delegates are from different organisations as they can focus on the details of the techniques and learn from each other’s approaches or how various techniques might be used in different industries.
The course is highly intellectual and skills-development based. It requires substantial reading (case studies), group interaction (to use the techniques taught), group presentation (to justify solutions/ decisions made) and reflection.
