Summary
Training Course Specifics
• Insights in Action• Innovation and Ideation• Workshop Design and Facilitation
Insights in action: did you know?• “Insight” is a word that is so widely misunderstood
and misused - it needs defining up front• Insight generation requires a clear process, supported
by simple tools (our process is called “S.N.I.B.”)• An insight is an answer to a quantified, prioritised
strategic question• Insights are generated by teams (not individuals)• One insight is better than two• Insights are powerful single minded sentences that
inspire, direct and connect to a business need• You can’t sell insights (they need an accompanying
“big bold idea” to turn them into dollars!
These principles underpin our “Insights
in Action” course
Learning Programme - Details
Innovation and Ideation: did you know?• Creativity doesn’t deliver practical commercial
outputs unless it’s given the ‘freedom’ for a tight brief!
• Many of us have either forgotten or feel unable to bring out their “inner creative”. But we all have it within.
• Creative behaviours such as ‘building’, ‘signalling’, ‘prototyping’ and ‘connecting’ help to reveal hidden creative talents
• The human brain naturally reinforces the connections it makes. What’s needed t build creative ideas is punchy, provocative STIMULUS. It helps to break old stale connections and generate new ideas
• An idea isn’t an idea unless you can draw it• Creative thinking doesn’t mix with analytical thinking.
They need to be kept in separate spaces!These principles underpin our
“Innovation and Ideation” course
Innovation Programme - Details
Workshop Design and Facilitation: did you know?
• Just like a formal meeting, workshops need clear structure, planning and preparation
• The facilitator’s role is to focus on process – not output
• A group ‘forms’ in the first few minutes of a workshop, so it’s vital that the facilitator sets the session up correctly from the very first moment
• Attending a workshop can feel threatening. Lots of positive feedback and encouragement gives people “permission” to say what they think
• Creative workshops produce ideas and broad direction. It’s unlikely they’ll deliver detailed recommendations or decisions.
These principles underpin our
“workshop facilitation” course
