Magnificent 7 Creative Thinking

An interactive one-day seminar takes delegates through 7 (seven) different approaches to creative thinking. It is delivered in an informal and stimulating way, and designed specifically to "help people learn proven and simple, yet powerful, ways of new thinking" that can be applied in the workplace immediately. It is a must for anyone who wants to develop his/her personal creativity.

The 7 (seven) creative thinking tools are demonstrated, and then the delegates (working in small groups and in pairs) will practice applying them in different challenges and situations.
