About a one-day Course:

Facilitating group creativity and innovative action has always been a challenge, perhaps never more so than when a group is tasked to “think out of the box” on the spot and come up with new solutions to a complex problem or situation.

* You will receive a reference book with an expanded set of resources for use with your clients.

“This training was FANTASTIC. I have added many new tools to my facilitation toolbox. I can’t wait to put these into practice in upcoming focus groups and in my office. This is a training absolutely everyone can learn from, even if they think they don’t need it. You will walk away with something new to use.” ~ Kelsey Irvine, MPH – Community Health Planner, Nebraska

“This course is a fantastic orientation to methods for building creativity. It incorporates the principles of design thinking in a hands-on, one-day course.”
 ~ Carolyn Bloede, California

“Facilitation for Innovation: Inspiring Group Creativity” provided me with numerous ways to sneak creativity into my facilitation designs in a way that elicits a broader set of solutions that would not have otherwise been considered ultimately leading to solutions that can work for everyone. I highly recommend this course for policy makers and project managers as well as facilitators…really anyone who needs to create an environment where a tough decision must be made.”  Terri Sue C. Rossi Technical Administrator Arizona Water Banking Authority, Phoenix
