“I’m not creative” – this workshop with Sander Kuin proves that wrong.
What’s this workshop about?
Creativity isn’t talent, it’s a trainable skill. You’ll learn how to generate strong ideas on demand, even under pressure.
We’ll explore:
- Thinking inside the box (constraints help creativity)
- Thinking outside the box (breaking assumptions)
- How context shapes ideas
- The Idea Machine (hands-on tools)
The Idea Machine (hands-on tools)
You’ll practice structured ideation methods like:
- Superhero mode – generate 8 solutions fast (quantity over quality)
- Make it worse – 8 ideas that intentionally ruin the solution (then flip them)
- Future tech – how would AI, robots, or new tech solve it?
- Middle Ages mode – how would this problem be solved without modern tech?
Yes – you’ll easily create 32+ ideas in one session.
