Webinar: Creative Thinking & Problem Solving

Overview:
Do you ask your team members for help in solving problems?  Do you consider the viewpoints of various interested parties?  When problems arise, do you make a list of possible causes, prioritizing them in the order of probability that they actually contribute to the problem?  Do you determine what information needs to be collected to resolve the problem?

• Implement structured innovation methods that lead to better decisions and more effective solutions to business problems.
• Learn and apply patient design thinking processes for creative problem solving.
