Creative Problem Solving Instructor-Led Training

Transform Challenges into Opportunities

When problems happen at work, employees frequently do one of three things: they panic, they become apprehensive about approaching the problem, or they pass the issue on to someone else to solve. A problem at work often means there is a potential solution.

When an organization has a problem solving culture, it fosters ideas and activities that extend beyond the problem and encourages innovation. It also fosters better teamwork and trust, increased workplace engagement, increased job satisfaction, and increased productivity.

This instructor-led training will cover the characteristics of an effective problem solver, challenge people’s go-to problem solving habits, reveal a variety of creativity and problem solving methods, and inspire you and your team to be more creative. This three-hour program offers workplace tips, self-assessment exercises, real-life scenarios, practice activities, and more.
