Presentation: Brainstorming done right, scribbling to solve creative problems
The World Economic Forum (WEF) predicted the top two critical skills needed in business moving towards 2030 were ‘’Creativity & Innovation” followed by “Solving complex problems”.
Brainstorming in today’s era of disruption requires some adjustments to traditional brainstorming methods to maximise creativity and innovation for several reasons:
– Faster Pace of Change
– Increased Complexity

– Need for Diverse Thinking
In the session I will demonstrate ways to fire up your personal creativity, and also share modern and effective brainstorming techniques.
