Creative Problem Solving Process (CPPS)
Three phases to innovate: clarify, transform and implement.
Ideation workshop to better generate, improve and select your options
Finally, a concrete way to move into innovation mode with creative tools.
Description of the course
As a continuous improvement practitioner, you often have to facilitate a brainstorm. Are you tired of traditional verbal or written brainstorming? Come and discover new ways of facilitating your work teams with a day of training and, above all, practical exercises that will allow you to try out innovative and unusual brainstorming methods.
As the name suggests, this training is divided into three parts:
- Idea generation - Get to the bottom of what's in your participants' heads;
- The best ideas are often amalgams of individual ideas generated by participants;
- Sorting out ideas - Brainstorming is useless without a serious convergence at the end.
For online training, meeting invitations will be sent to you 48 hours in advance and will contain the web links to access the training. Make sure you have the necessary equipment to be able to hear and communicate with the trainer! The material will be sent to you as a link or PDF file to your email address.
General objective
Participants will leave with a variety of cutting-edge divergence (creativity) and convergence (analysis) tools that will enable them to inject new life into their work teams' brainstorming.
Who is this training for?
This course is open to all.
Benefits
- Access to brainstorming tools adapted to a wide variety of situations (group size, physical space available, participants' profiles, etc.).
- Access to tools that allow ideas to be developed further through exchange, understanding of each other's points of view, etc.
- Access to idea selection tools to quickly identify the most relevant ideas for further action.
Details of the course
The training progresses in the same way as a brainstorming session:
Strand 1 - idea generation
Most participants in a brainstorming session arrive with a head full of ideas. They are by definition easy to come up with by traditional means. But sooner or later, the group will slow down. Silence will set in, the pencils will settle. How do you get people going again and get them beyond the obvious? Come and discover the following techniques:
- The best from the worst;
- Bono hats;
- Scale of abstraction;
- The wish list technique;
- Forced connections;
- The idea box.
Strand 2 - the improvement of ideas
When the issue under consideration is more complex or nuanced, it is not enough to generate ideas in bulk. We need to take the time to explore the different avenues available to us. Why not do this as a team, combining the views of all participants into cohesive, fleshed-out ideas? Come and discover the following techniques:
- The open forum;
- The World Café;
- Shark Tank;
- LEGO™ SERIOUS PLAY™.
Part 3 - Sorting out the ideas
All too often, brainstorming ends with the selection of ideas using the subjective technique of 'favorites'. Although quick, this does not get to the bottom of things and sometimes does not do justice to some promising ideas. Depending on the issue at hand, convergence may need to be better structured to highlight the best possible solutions! Come and discover the following techniques:
- The importance - chances of success graph;
- Comparative pairwise analysis;
- The nominal group technique;
- The alternative ranking;
- Targeting;
- The COCD grid.
