How can you learn to organize creativity workshops? How can you create new ways of approaching your projects? How can you create group cohesion around an innovation process?
Design Thinking
Organizing a workshop on creativity is a collective process which requires preparation and techniques. This training program is intended to help you acquire this know-how in order to bring out new ideas in a team context. It draws on Design Thinking using methods and tools that enable better use of the ideas put forward by a team.
The creativity workshop uses different modes of visual representation and a transversal and anthropocentric approach in order to create user scenarios highlighting the areas of innovation. This workshop offers an original approach by combining creativity methods with methods of Design Thinking to create a creative group dynamic.
Objectives
At the end of the training program, you will be able to:
- Manage creativity in project teams
- Explore possibilities at the early stages of an innovation process
- Create group cohesion based on an innovative project
- Anticipate market developments
Learning by doing
The school has always championed project-led teaching, the aim being to apply the knowledge transmitted to the learner and to test it in the context of a real project. This immersive approach encourages the use of methods and techniques, and develops soft skills such as empathy, creativity, team work and the Maker mentality. This pedagogical method, led by a designer, gives learners the confidence to take a different approach to the innovation process and to embrace the concept of Design Thinking.
