INTRODUCTION
|
 Probably, no one
will argue that creative imagination is an essential
part of success and personal development in the age
of innovation. We all possess it, but do we use it
to full extent? This course targets at providing an
answer how to unlock your creative imagination and
how to develop it.
You might ask, “There are already many courses on
creativity. Why one more course?” The answer is
simple: at this course we are not just talking about
what creativity is and what we need to enhance it,
but learn how to improve and develop it with a
number of systematic techniques which help directly
generate new “out-of-the-box” ideas and
systematically develop creative imagination. Not
just learning several new techniques, but learning
how to evolve our imagination and capabilities to
think out of the box. Like any skill, creative
imagination requires development – and it can be
developed. And it can be done systematically.
Systematic approach to Creative Imagination
Development (CID) – this is what makes this course
unique and different.
The course content is based on findings and
developments of one of the best minds within
creativity studies: Genrich Altshuller, who has been
widely known for originating TRIZ, a Theory of
Solving Inventive Problems. Today TRIZ is the best
known tool to solve inventive and innovative
problems. But while TRIZ mostly focuses on
technological and business areas, and it takes
considerable time to learn and master, the CID
techniques can be used in every area, learned very
quickly, and immediately put to practice.
Skills with systematic Creative Imagination
Development not only help to come up with new ideas.
They help to recognize existing opportunities and
see ahead of others.
 In the past, CID techniques were successfully used
to invent new products and add new features to
existing products, solve technical and business
problems, find new creative ideas for marketing and
advertisement, books and screenplays, paintings and
photo art, home decoration – virtually every area
where creativity is demanded. CID can also be
successfully used at team sessions to facilitate new
ideas generation.
