Risk, Creativity and Problem Solving

Balance left brain and right brain activities to generate and evaluate new ideas, tackle problems and create solutions

Who is it for?

All managers and business owners who want to further increase their ability to create new ideas and solve problems quickly and decisively. The day is especially useful for those with particular current challenges or creative roles. The day also looks at how risk effects these processes and how we should approach risk.

What does it cover?
