How you create not more of the same, but something different that moves you forward

Creativity techniques

Creativity, along with critical thinking, collaboration, and communication, is one of the core competencies in today’s workplace. Especially in complex situations, optimizing existing solutions isn’t enough. New perspectives and targeted problem-solving skills are needed to make the right decisions, whether working alone or with a team.
In this Creativity Techniques training, you’ll learn how to harness creativity not by chance, but as a structured method that delivers real value. You’ll develop a clear understanding of what creativity means in a work context. You’ll connect your personal creative style (e.g., through team role/personality approaches) with a proven set of methods and practice turning ideas into viable solutions using concrete examples. You’ll work individually or in teams.

This training empowers you to

  • Recognize your creativity style and use it consciously
  • Apply creativity methods as structured problem-solving techniques
  • Facilitate team creativity, design meaningful sessions, and translate outcomes into actionable formats
  • Integrate AI effectively as a support tool

Modules

In this module, you’ll (re)discover your own creative style and understand what creativity means in this context and where it originates.

  • You connect creativity with personality and/or team roles (e.g., using Belbin/DiSC)
  • You develop a shared definition of creativity in a business context and understand how defined gaps and needs trigger creative problem-solving
  • You understand the creative process as an interplay between divergent thinking (generating diverse ideas) and convergent thinking (prioritizing and making solutions actionable)
  • You build an overview of methods and understand the focus areas behind available techniques for creativity and creative problem-solving
  • You use a structured selection logic to apply creativity techniques appropriate to your constraints, goals, team, available time, and the problem at hand
  • You test techniques hands-on using a practical topic that affects us all

In this module, you’ll learn how to integrate creativity into your daily work.

  • You apply creativity techniques in a team setting and practice condensing results into decision-ready outputs
  • You use practical exercise formats (e.g., LEGO® Serious Play as an option) to make ideas tangible
  • You train alternative communication styles
  • You plan the transfer to your daily work: specific use cases, first steps, and your next team facilitation
  • You’ll learn the basics of creative prompting so you can use AI as a tool—not to replace your own creativity, but to help you make good decisions.

Learning Environment

You’ll learn in an interactive training format consistently focused on application and transfer:

  • Methods are applied directly and reflected on with other participants
  • Hands-on exercises, case studies, and creative presentation formats support practical learning
  • A brief AI excursion shows you how to use creative prompting effectively and critically evaluate results
  • Active exchange with trainers and other participants provides additional perspectives and practical insights
