Focus on Facilitation™
The Problem:
Creative thinking and innovation is highly desired but very misunderstood. People often struggle to navigate the “who”, “what”, “when”, “where” and “how” of coming up with new ideas and turning them into action.
The reality is that successful innovation applied to business challenges, opportunities and process requires a broad range of thinking ability. Other major obstacles that prevent creative growth and improvement include the identifying, directing and harnessing of team thinking
The Solution:
Dr Edward de Bono’s world-renowned Focus on Facilitation™ workshop develops “best-in-class” facilitator skills that equip you to walk into any meeting, with any group of people and get results – a valuable personal and professional skill.
Workshop Benefits:
Focus on Facilitation™ equips you with techniques to tease out the best thinking needed to produce successful, fully explored outcomes – in a fraction of the time, every time.
