Accelerated-Intensive Simplex Level I and II: Using and Leading Applied Creativity
Why the Simplex System?
- You've heard it all before. The world is changing. Nothing stays the same. Change is the only constant.
- One thing does stay the same. Solving complex problems and creating fresh opportunities for growth in a changing world begins with creative thinking.
- Our future as organizations, teams and individuals depends on our ability to view the tasks before us from a different perspective, to question old habits and ways, and to have the courage to propose and implement innovative solutions. To sustain real economic and personal growth, we must now approach innovation and problem solving in our organizations with increased creativity and foresight.
- The Simplex System is the "innovation engine" of the organization. It interconnects a process of creative problem solving with skills and tools to make that process work.
The system is simple, experiential, inclusive … and is proven to work.
