An important component of innovative and agile organizations are employees that are equipped with modern working methods. Hence we offer a wide range of trainings in creativity, innovation and organization to get your employees ready for tomorrow’s work.
• Systematic Creative Thinking. A framework for individual creativity and effective collaboration within a team. It can perfectly be implemented in meetings and workshops to jointly develop innovative solutions.
• Design Thinking. Developing innovations from a user perspective. Teams elaborate user needs and build a first prototype for testing.
• Lean Innovation. Testing for market acceptance of new products and services and specifically new business models is considered as the number one priority. Methods of Design Thinking and Lean Startup lead to faster feedback on innovation assumptions.
• Idea selling. Good ideas need to present and sell well, also within a company. We provide tools not only to drive an idea forward but also to present it in a convincing way.
• Meeting structures. Meetings are one of the most essential tools for collaboration. Often they waste time and energy. General principles and building blocks lead to more effective meetings and use the time of each person in an optimal way.

For different areas and purposes different training modules are offered so that all methods can be applied in meetings and throughout the entire company.

Nowadays workshops for innovation are essential tools of modern companies. They enable experts of different disciplines to creatively work together and develop new solutions. Well trained innovation facilitators ensure that the workshop runs effectively and efficiently. Furthermore facilitators steer groups from a methodical perspective and provide neutral support to group members within their working process.
In our 5-day training we provide each participant with essential tools and know-how to independently plan and facilitate innovation workshops for various topics. We combine an interactive knowledge transfer with hands-on work and practice exercises. Based on our experience as innovation coaches and workshop facilitator our trainers support each participant’s learning experience by providing individual and detailed feedback.
“As a business development and innovation manager I have to work with many teams and therefore I need to find creative solutions for very specific problems. This in-depth training provided me with a reliable and clear structure how to plan and facilitate workshops in practice. The contents are very practical and relatively easy to apply. The five days were very pleasant, with a good mix of theory and practice, in a comfortable environment and supportive but demanding trainers.“

Like many other NGOs SOS Children’s villages are facing great challenges. Due to the digital revolution the very nature of social commitment is changing. The SOS Children’s villages have to change and find new ways to support social projects. Resources are limited – especially since it is a non-profit association that needs to use donations economically.
The in-depth training for internal facilitators proved to be a helpful tool to drive long-term innovation within limited resources. As for 2016 the worldwide association of SOS Children’s villages has trained in total 4 facilitators for innovation workshops, all based in Munich. Just in 2016 and 2017 they have facilitated in total 13 workshops. Among these workshops five were connected to an idea competition, where more than 100 ideas were submitted by areas such as fundraising, marketing and organizational development.
A pleasant side-effect: The same facilitators use their experiences and skills and make them available to other teams and purposes. Beside innovation workshops they also guide team and strategic meetings to ensure more creativity and effectiveness.

It aims to develop skills enabling innovation and supporting an innovation culture. We use practical and action-oriented approaches which we successfully applied in various companies of different industries and sizes for more than ten years. Moreover we provide important learning experiences through real case studies from different industries.
The basic training consists of a seven-day greenbelt training, which is divided into two blocks. Building upon this participants can attend the blackbelt level focusing on operational and strategic directions.
