What is Creative Thinking Facilitation?
Creative Thinking Facilitation at WRD LLP leverages proven methodologies to help you and your team think differently, uncover new insights, and develop innovative solutions.
Our facilitation services blend the best practices from:
Creative Problem Solving (CPS)
Developed by Alex Osborn and Dr. Sidney J. Parnes, CPS is a structured method for generating and implementing innovative solutions. It involves stages such as Objective Finding, Fact Finding, Problem Finding, Idea Finding, Solution Finding, and Acceptance Finding.
Design Thinking
A human-centered approach to innovation, Design Thinking focuses on empathizing with users, defining problems, ideating solutions, prototyping, and testing. It helps in understanding user needs deeply and creating more effective and user-friendly solutions.
Tim Hurson’s
Productive Thinking
This model integrates analytical and creative thinking to enhance problem-solving and decision-making. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the problem, generating ideas, and planning practical steps for implementation.
Authentic
Facilitation
This is a facilitation approach focused on having inclusive meetings and group conversations. The intent is for everybody, regardless of rank, background, or identity, to participate and feel supported.
