Build a Creative and Innovative Thinking Organization




2013 Schedule of Leading Innovation Events

We host three types of creativity and innovation skill building events:

  1. Executive Deep Dives into the de Bono Suite of Productive Creativity and Innovation Thinking Tools: Six Thinking Hats, Lateral Thinking, and Focus on Facilitation. Each event is exclusive and is held just once per year. Designed specifically for professionals needing tools to facilitate thinking differently about business challenges; tools that help groups break out of the status quo which is holding back progress into the future; thinking frameworks that help uncover new business concepts for problem solving and so on. Here is the event brochure. Share it with your group. 

  2. Leading Innovation Events: These are three or four-day events touching on each of the tools. Clients appreciate being able to experience first hand how our tools can help them move forward building creativity and innovation skill competence within their organizations. The missing link is often the "creative and innovative" thinking tools. Lots of speakers have made the business case. Lots of consulting firms are promoting innovation models and emphasizing the culture piece. We are experts with the "thinking tools." You should be able to drop them right into your innovation model. You can register for a 1-day pass up to a 4-day pass depending on your goals. Here is the event brochure. Share it with your group.

  3. Special Events: These are events sponsored by associations featuring a timely and compelling theme related to business innovation. They proudly offer one of our world-class hands-on workshops from our de Bono Suite of Productive Creativity and Innovation Thinking Tools. If you are hosting an event and would like to offer one of our innovation workshops contact Lynda for details. info@LyndaCurtin.com   818-507-6055
