(E) Generate More Creative Options

Content

"Generate More Creative Options" provides a structured approach to tapping the less structured parts of one’s brain for solutions. 

During our 2 hours together we'll introduce stimulating techniques that make a group of colleagues come up with great ideas. Techniques such as FD’s Options Families, Ansoff Matrix, Functional Grid, A Beautiful Constraint, etc. 

The objective of this webinar is to expand your mind by showing you different ways to ask questions from your brain - and get different answers as a result. If most strategic thinking aims to come up with the smartest evolutionary ideas possible, then this webinar focuses on generating the wackiest revolutionary ideas - for successful disruption.

Whether you currently work in corporate strategy or consulting, manage a big marketing budget, contribute to corporate finance decisions, pursue several business development initiatives, or run a business unit or your own venture, all the Instigate Group webinars are designed to help you tackle at speed the complex problems you face.

This webinar (E) is aimed at anyone who needs to solve business problems quite regularly, and come up with a range of intelligent options before deciding what to do next – whether that be strategy formulation, functional optimisation, business unit marketing plans, etc.
