*Advanced Innovation Think Pad Training with Muddy & Diane
VISUALIZE YOUR BIG IDEAS at WORK with Innovation Think Pad Training
ABOUT INNOVATION THINK PAD:
Every organization is trying to implement system-wide innovation. They are hiring Directors, Agencies, Consultants and even crowdsourcing innovation. The answer is not to throw more technology at innovation by building an app or making an inspiring video, but simply to teach YOU how to become a Visual & Virtual Champion for innovation at work!
Innovation is within you!
Visual learning is a powerful tool for critical thinking, problem-solving and strategic planning. When you put pen to paper you open up to access your ideas, inspirations, and insights.
We all know that meetings are not going away but how you show up can change! During Innovation Think Pad Training we share with you the techniques, technology, and tools you need to unlock innovation and creativity at work.
WHAT IS INNOVATION THINK PAD?
Innovation can strike at any moment. Which is why all you need at this moment is something to write with and something to write on.
As Innovation Strategists, our job is to not only inspire participants to think creatively but also to facilitate and capture your ideas. And often, once ideas begin to flow, creativity comes in a flash of rapid ideas across the room at every level.
So, we have learned that the best thing we can do is to give everyone an Innovation Think Pad and equip them to capture and nurture those ideas because you never know who in the room is going to have a critical piece of the solution.
You will learn how to:
- Capture your big ideas
- Practice expansive thinking
- Draw business maps and models
- Share your strategic and tactical plans with your team
- Implement innovation mindset and behaviors
- Create powerful communications
- Build dynamic webinars to keep people engaged
- Develop engaging presentations for your leadership
