Workshop on 22&23 September 2008
$495 including 2 coffee breaks & lunch, YWCA Fort Canning Lodge
Call 63370098 for registration

Do we really need to innovate? Once you recognize the fact that business organizations are under tremendous pressure to generate innovative ideas that are sought after by the market, you will no longer ask that question. Instead you’ll ask – How do we go about innovating for new ideas in our workplace? Organisations and senior managers accept the reality that the only way to remain viable and grow is to remain competitive through innovative products and services. Managers, Supervisors and Team Leaders play a critical role in the creative and innovation process in the organization.

In order to innovate for new ideas at the workplace, employees at all levels within the organization need to be trained on how to seek new ideas through creative approaches in their thinking. This requires the acceptance that creative thinking can be taught and be applied in a systematic manner. Once employees learn to ask SMART and RIGHT questions they will be able to generate useful and innovative ideas for their organization’s needs. This workshop is designed to train employees to ask SMART and RIGHT questions that will unfold great opportunities.
