CREATIVITY & INNOVATION

Thinking Outside The Box

This interactive programme encourages you to think rationally and creatively, beyond conventional constraints. The frog under the coconut shell is isolated from the greater world outside the shell. A manager who is anchored to a fixed set of thinking patterns is similarly handicapped. A manager needs strategies and skills to expand his/her thinking so as to tap thinking to the fullest potential. Instead of being plateaued, thinking can gain a fresh boost of mental zest. Sometimes, to unlearn bad habits can be harder than to learn good habits. This programme seeks to ease managers into new thinking paths so that their thinking is not boxed inside. Objectives Upon completion of this programme, you will be able to: Expose the habitual ways in which you limit your thinking Explore ways and means to escape from barriers which trapped thinking Inspire you to seek new perspectives from which you can achieve new insights and outcomes Designed For First Level Managers Ideally suited for young managers before they get entrenched in mindset Training Methodology This course is based on interactive learning via group discussions and exercises, real case studies and participants will have to write down individual plans to implement what is learnt from the programme.
