Solving Problems Using Creativity, Collaboration and Critical Thinking

The old saying about “change being the only constant” has never been truer. To function and succeed, organizations need to be responsive, agile, and innovative. For Federal government organizations and contractors, this need is pressing but made more challenging by inherent and necessary constraints. These organizations can create cultures of innovation with broad structural changes, but the people working within these organizations also need to know and competently use techniques for enacting these changes.

In this workshop, attendees will be faced with the challenge of viewing their work and its inherent challenges in a new light: problems are opportunities and problems require ownership. While many may have heard the oft-repeated message to “bring solutions, not problems,” some may not have the skills to develop solutions or the belief that their ideas will be heard. For this reason, a top-down message of support and openness to new ideas is vital and needs to be communicated before the training is presented.
