Featuring the Basadur Creative Problem-Solving Profile, co-presented with Locomotive Partners
Offered as full day or half-day intact team workshop.
In most companies, individuals and teams are in the business of solving problems, yet employees often express dissatisfaction with which problems are chosen to be solved, the creativity of thinking about those problems, the quality of plans, and the efficacy of resulting solutions.
Examine your problem-solving behavior in the context of your team and where friction is creating less than optimal results. Challenge your assumptions about what it takes to solve complex business problems and where your team has collective blind spots. Explore how to create efficient problem-solving squads with a complementary mix of problem-solving abilities.
This workshop is for teams who are working together to create and deliver products and services. We encourage close working partners of the team to attend.
