Creative Connections

CREATIVE CONNECTIONS ADDRESSES THE BEHAVIOURS NECESSARY TO MAKE ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN DISPARATE ITEMS AND CONCEPTS

The main aim is for participants to seek creative problem solving techniques; giving a telling indication of the creative thinking abilities of individuals and groups involved. By stretching the existing abilities and attributes of participants, the exercise develops greater awareness of a multitude of creative thinking skills. The combination fun activity and the numerical score derived from each use of Creative Connections makes this exercise ideal to return to again and again to indicate and stimulate the development of creative thinking.

Using stimuli to invoke wide-ranging thinking and cross referencing, Creative Connections leads to an innovative exploration of thinking that accurately reflects modern working practices.

Creative Connections:

• Encourages participants to ‘think out of the box’ by promoting lateral thinking and creativity
• Challenges existing thought processes and techniques by energising individual styles of    brainstorming and cross-referencing
• Develops existing skills in problem solving and team working
• Increases awareness of differentiation between and within customer transactions
• Is a mirror of real life working environments and quickly establishes transferable skills amongst participants.
