Creativity and innovation are becoming more and more critical to organizations to stay competitive; yet there are still many misconceptions and myths about creativity and creative processes. This workshop focuses on the role of facilitators in helping generate new, original ideas that are useful, adaptive, and provide solutions to workplace challenges. In this workshop, I will give a brief overview over the current state of organizational creativity research and how to enhance creative potential. Workshop participants will be asked to share their challenges regarding creativity in facilitation, training, and development, and we will work together to find solutions to these challenges by applying creative problem solving processes.
