Facilitation of Think Tanks and Coaching of teams or an individual
How do you stay on top of the competition? Need new ideas?
Facilitation of a Think Tank.
QréaCom helps to force breakthroughs, world wide. The inspiring chairperson is Mary Lou Leistikow, independent, experienced and an accredited Master Trainer. Previous creative sessions led by Mary Lou have resulted in various patents and innovative products and services.
The facilitation of think tanks comprises four steps:
• Preparation - A core team and a creative team are formed and the focus is formulated: What is the topic for which ideas are sought?
• Generating ideas - During the course of a few hours ideas are generated by means of de Bono creativity techniques.
• Harvesting and Treatment - The truly innovative concepts are extracted from the rough material.
• Selection and implementation - The core team selects the most likely ideas. After a decision has been made the innovation process can begin.
You will receive three to eight top ideas worked out on a sheet of paper. Furthermore, the few hundred other ideas that are generated can be used as an inspiration for other innovations. This approach is suitable for forcing a breakthrough in negotiations, in situations of production innovation, optimisation, simplification of procedures, or new business models.
Coaching
Those who wish to get a grip on their time, activities and priorities acquire clarity through coaching by Mary Lou Leistikow. Based on the objectives as defined in the trainee's first interview, a personal approach is initiated which is confronting and especially constructive. No reports are produced for third parties; that is entirely up to the trainee.
The de Bono thinking methods are included in the coaching sessions. As a Master Trainer, facilitator and coach, Mary Lou contributes her valuable knowledge and experience. Coaching programmes comprise a series of two-hour sessions. During these sessions you will work on your own scrapbook -
a handbook containing tips, advice and assignments.
