| Practical
Creativity Applying ‘SCRAMBLE’ Technique
Overview
As the 21st Century begins to unfold together with
its uncertainties and challenges there is dire need
to improve our ability to think creatively and find
solutions to seemingly impossible situations.
Creativity is not necessarily an inborn skill and it
is something that can be nurtured with the right
training and perception. The two guiding principles
of creativity is ‘synergy’ – the way
in which
information is perceived and ‘synthesis’
the way in which we process the information. Both these
applied in tandem will allow us to relate previously
unrelated concepts and ideas which is the crux
of what creativity is all about.
In this practical one day workshop participants will
be put to task on how they could unleash their
creative genius by learning to acknowledge the 6 ‘I’s
of creative thinking. They will be shown on
how to apply SCRAMBLE in resolving conflicts, finding
solutions and solving problems. Creative
thinking hinges upon the principle of logic and innovation.
By understanding these concepts it is
quite possible to develop effective ways of problem
solving, decision making and solution finding.
