The course will review how innovation and creativity tend to be discouraged from an early age and will come to understand the influences on this phenomenon. Participants will identify the cultural influences in their own organizations that discourage innovation and creativity. Participants will be exposed to the skills and techniques associated with brainstorming and practice techniques to encourage participation, risk-taking and innovation. Participants will apply their brainstorming skills to real organizational issues and develop plans to address those issues creatively. Participants will learn the various roles that we play in supporting our enterprises and engage in a survey that helps them identify how they contribute to their organization. We'll review how those roles impact organizations over time by studying the life cycle of organizations and apply historical lessons to the current enterprise.
