The world is turning faster & faster and the only element that will remain is change. Organizations have to deliver better, faster, more efficient products & services to clients who demand more and more. You can wait until a great idea pops up but this reactive position can mean the end of your organization.

Another approach is being pro-active and continuously search for new opportunities. This workshop from the Belgian creativity expert Cyriel Kortleven can help you and your colleagues to break out of the box and generate lots of new ideas in a very short time.

In this very interactive presentation we cover the following:

• Thinking in patterns and the curse of knowledge
• Creative skills to break fixed patterns
• Postpone judgment and get into a ‘yes and’ mood
• Creative observing • And action – bring the wild ideas into action
• Networking exercise to get to know somebody in a ‘different way’

Participating in this event will enable you to break your own fixed thinking patterns, learn some simple tools and skills to generate loads of new ideas and network with interesting people of KMLF in a very creative way.
