Fort Worth Innovators Forum: Creativity Workshop with Edward A. Ipser, Jr. PhD #3
March 25 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
FreeRegistration not required, FREE to attend! Fourth Monday of every month.
Creativity is the formation of something original, either tangible, such as work of art, or intangible, such as an idea. Creativity can be applied to descriptions, to how we see the world. It can be applied to problem solving and it can be used to design new things. Mastering creativity opens up a whole new world of possibilities. It enlists your imagination as an effective problem solving tool.
Do you have an idea for a new or improved product, service, or process? Have you ever considered doing your own startup? While this workshop series is business-focused, it adds another dimension of thought often missing from practical disciplines. Anyone who wants to find and develop a new business idea will benefit from it.
Participants can expect to come away from this workshop series with a greater creativity in every task they approach both individually and in collaboration with others. This includes the ability to invent new possibilities and to solve problems more effectively. Creativity is the foundation to creating new products, services, processes, business models, and startups. Additionally, creative individuals are more engaged and productive even in tasks that don’t require creativity.
This workshop is a series of one hour planned, instructor-led presentations in which concepts are taught and reinforced through discussions, demonstrations, and exercises, using real situations and problems that the participants face.
Do you face challenges that don’t lend themselves to obvious or straightforward solutions? Is hard work not paying off for you anymore? Do you need new insights to move your business forward? Do you worry that your ideas are not worth the investment of time and energy required to bring them to fruition? You may need to become more creative in your business problem solving.
