In the past few decades, psychologists
and business people alike have discovered that successful problem solvers tend
to use the same type of process to identify and implement the solutions to
their problems. This process works for any kind of problem, large or small.
The Creative Problem Solving workshop
will give participants an overview of the entire creative problem solving
process, as well as key problem solving tools that they can use every day.
Skills such as brainstorming, information gathering, analyzing data, and
identifying resources will be covered throughout the workshop.
