If the world has to rise from its status of being largely followers to that of leaders in Industry, Business and Education, it is imperative that we must focus on Creativity at all levels of management.
Training in this module aims to surface qualities inherent in every participant by a holistic approach using techniques that aim at a fusion of Left and Right Brain attributes. The importance of teamwork is stressed through emphasis on the fact that no two brains are the same. Trainees are exposed to simple creations of children to understand the process of creativity from the stage of observation, insight, preparation, incubation, illumination and verification to practical application. The approach aims at getting them to work closely with people at various levels in an organisation to provide the state of mind to put creativity to work at their jobs. The importance of adding, borrowing, combining and deleting various outputs from different people for arriving at a creative high is stressed.
The role of fantasy, day dreaming, intuition and the importance of cultivating hobbies whether music, dance, drama, art, sculpture, painting, poetry, or a sport is highlighted in this module, which is purposefully kept simple, easy-to-understand and hence practically applicable.
The module freely draws upon experiences from children who are not structured and have pristine minds that spontaneously provide creative solutions to difficult problems.
"Ideas from many heads are better than one. I am limited if I work by myself. If we can pool all the brains together, and come up with one product we can go one step closer to becoming a developed nation"
