Whether you are starting a business or working in a company or organization, at the heart of any entrepreneurial endeavors and successes, you will find creativity and innovation. This workshop will discuss the importance of these ideas within a business context. Through interactive activities, we will provide you with tools to develop your own creative power so you can find new ways of looking at problems and opportunities and transform them into innovative solutions!

Prerequisites

None!

House keeping rules

Above all, it is a practical session, and we are here to learn together, make mistakes, ask questions & collaborate so that we can learn intuitively.

Despite all workshops being online this fall, we are trying to emulate the in-person experience as best as we can, which would benefit from you having your camera on during workshop unless of course you don’t have access to a webcam, in which case we still encourage your presence. Our only requirement from you is that you are eager to learn!
