About the training
Many people recognize it: a brainstorming session that starts out full of energy, but in which the first ideas soon die down due to a stream of “yes buts. This won’t work. We’ve tried that before. Way too expensive. A few participants dominate the conversation, while others drop out and keep their ideas to themselves. The result? Much discussion and little innovation… But things can be different.
The practical and interactive Creative Thinking training helps you and your team break through thinking patterns. It also breathes new life into your creative skills and teaches you how to apply them confidently in your work. You will learn to work with a structured creative process and practical, proven thinking techniques to arrive at outside-the-box ideas.

“Working closely with a Flemish partner, the trainer, Mr. Vonk, succeeded in bridging the gap between technologists and stakeholders on the one hand and the Flemish and Dutch participants on the other.”
