associated with innovation.

It is felt that by helping employees develop these skills, it will be possible to stimulate greater
innovation within the organisation.

You are required to research and then design a training session (of approximately 2 hours) for
staff on innovative and creative thinking techniques.

creative thinking techniques, as well as coordinating activities that give them some practice in
applying them.
