In this sessions we debunk the widely held idea that brilliance is born of epiphany or a knock to the head a la Doc Brown in Back To The Future. The process of coming up with quality idea and pathways is characterized by discipline and adherence to a handful of core principles.

During this interactive session, we unpack the process of problem identification to idea generation and filtering for pragmatic ways forward. Working through a disciplined approach to creativity, we illustrate how approaches often associated with the “innovation industry” can be applied to the “serious” subjects of negotiations, conflict resolution, and strategy development.
