What is Creativity Training?

Creativity Training aids in thinking differently on a situation than usually approached. This is key to resolving professional hurdles, being productive and keeping one motivated.

Creativity and Innovation is a key skill which keeps employees ahead of the competition. When Momentum conducts a program on leadership training the other two main programs recommended are creativity training and problem solving training. Our Outbound Training is an outstanding program to train employees in an experiential manner and focuses on the topic of creative thinking. The global expert on creativity techniques, Dr. Edward de Bono, beautifully puts together in brief the undeniable meaning of creative thinking: "Ideas are the currency of success. They separate you from your competition."
