Workshop Overview

The aim of this programme is to provide each participant with a thorough understanding of the principles and practices of both Critical and Creative Thinking. The participants will learn hands-on techniques to generate breakthrough ideas and solve their most pressing problems while challenging habitual patterns of thinking. This programme will explore how to develop new and improved habits of thinking efficiently and allowing each participant to broaden their thinking skills to confidently explore the problem fully before the decision making process takes place. Eight specific areas will be covered in great detail, which revolve around our model to provide each participant with the key tools to thinking critically and to address everyday problems that may occur in the workplace.
