About the Course

In today’s ever-growing and changing world, being able to think creatively and innovatively are essential skills. It can sometimes be challenging to step back and reflect in an environment which is fast paced or when you are required to assimilate large amounts of information. Making sense of or communicating new ideas in an innovative and engaging way, approaching problems from fresh angles, and producing novel solutions are all traits which are highly sought after by employers. This course will equip you with a ‘tool-box’, introducing you to a selection of behaviours and techniques that will augment your innate creativity. Some of the tools are suited to use on your own and others work well for a group, enabling you to leverage the power of several minds. You can pick and choose which of these tools or techniques suit your needs and interests, focusing on some or all of the selected approaches and in the order that fits best for you. The practical approach of this course enables you to acquire an essential skill-set for generating ideas, with plenty of: - Fun e-tivities and exercises; - Practical lectures and tips; - Video representations of the techniques in action. By the end of this course you should be able to: - Pick a type of brainstorming you think will be useful to apply to a challenge - Use alphabet brainstorming in tackling a challenge - Use grid brainstorming in tackling a challenge - Use a morphological chart to synthesise a solution to a challenge - Use the TRIZ contradiction matrix to identify recommended inventive principles - Apply SCAMPER to a range of challenges The greatest innovators aren’t necessarily the people who have the most original idea. Often, they are people- or teams- that have harnessed their creativity to develop a new perspective or more effective way of communicating an idea. You can train your imagination to seize opportunities, break away from routine and habit, and tap into your natural creativity. Join this course and a community of practitioners in CREATIVITY!...

Amazing to find out that I have been using the Six thinking Hats tool all my adult life and I wasn't even aware of its existence! As an Event Manager, I would definitely be applying many of the tools.

This course was not at all what I expected. Some links were bad, but overall the format was smart enough that I could complete the course on my cell phone.

i understood the topics theoretically but could not apply them easily to daily situations since the examples were not explained clearly in videos.

Even though this course teach a lot of creativity thinking tools, it's quite introductory and somewhat vague, also, the material is a bit old

The lectures are succinct and include relevant practical examples, but they don't fully embody the 'Creative Thinking: Techniques and Tools for Success' theme. The course offers two effective techniques for success and daily tasks, while the remaining content is more mechanical and primarily beneficial for mechanical engineers. It falls short of expectations and may not be worth the investment for those seeking comprehensive creative thinking strategies.

Instructions for the graded activities are not clear enough. Also the peer review system is not really working.
