Facilitating Creative Thinking
Course Description
The course taught the students how to create conditions for creative thinking and innovation within an organization composed of a wide variety of professionals, most of whom are not familiar with design thinking. The course prepared the students to lead teams in the envisioning of new ideas and solutions by developing skills in framing, imaging and group interaction as they apply the process of design conceptualization outside of the familiar domain of studio skills. In a series of simulations and group exercises, the students acquired experience in idea facilitation through working successfully with non-design people in a creative mode.
What is facilitating creative thinking?
Facilitating creative thinking is a way to get participants to brainstorm thus generating new ideas. Creative thinking is particularly useful when trying to gain insights from user groups not directly associated with creative fields. Facilitators use creative methods to assist a group in problem solving for common objectives.
