Some of the best ideas in history have been the result of approaching things in a non-traditional way. These approaches, sometimes termed 'non-linear thinking' can be very helpful in producing new ideas, inventions, and solutions to problems.
The human brain is capable of incredible things, as witnessed by the innovations and inventions of the last century. Some of the most creative ideas and solutions have been arrived at through 'different' thinking methods. To prove that these techniques work, we will stretch our minds and experiment with a few 'innovative' tools. Attendees will walk away with some new 'thinking' tools and maybe even some solutions you can apply.
