There are days when getting struck by lightning feels easier (and more preferable) than finding a new idea for your client. Then what? Let’s face it, bringing out creative ideas alone or with a team requires real work…in a new way. This fast-paced, interactive presentation examines the fundamental blocks and barriers to creative ideas, and provides new tools and techniques for getting around them, over them, or under them. Participants will leave with techniques for generating and evaluating ideas productively to turn that spark of an idea into a roaring flame of innovation.
