Solving Problems Using Critical Thinking and Creativity
Presented by Christa Kirby, Leadership Practice Director, Corporate Education Group
The ability to think both creatively and critically is an invaluable skill set at the heart of effective problem-solving. While at first glance creating and critiquing may seem like opposites, they are in fact deeply connected... and part of an ongoing generative cycle. To solve challenging problems, we need to explore them holistically — to unleash our imaginations while also applying structure and discipline to our thought processes.
Topics we will cover in this webinar include:
• The intimate connection between critical thinking and creative thinking
• The importance of defining the right problem
• Common cognitive biases that can diminish innovation
• The difference between brainstorming and “brain swarming”
• Techniques for generating both convergent and divergent thinking
