TIRIAN INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS

SOLVING “WICKED” PROBLEMS

Creative & Critical Thinking: Business Implications & Applications Deep Dive Lab- with Business Facilitation

Following on from the (CSI-2) workshop is the option to take a deep dive with actionable business facilitation, tools and coaching integrated with design thinking solutions & tools.

This is the “apply’ phase. After practising using a famous case study (P&G), the session then moves to work with a (your own) real company challenge / issue for team to solve.

This session is an extension of the full CSI2 workshop that deep dives into real issues.

The accredited executive level facilitator will learn how to walk a team through a series of well sequenced models (critical thinking /design thinking / CPS) to explore real ill-defined, tricky problems & or use the model to strategically look at future thinking challenges.  Starting with a real issue, the tools and models provided will assist groups in getting to a real solutions. 

The more “generic tools” traditionally used in a Design Thinking process are introduced in this course and placed in context to be used in the Tirian’s 7 phases to solve actual live “wicked” workplace issues.

A deep dive experience into the collaborative ‘Strategies for Innovative Development’ (SID) model, which shows how to come up with and use creative ideas and workshop them through to practical action plans. Covers 4 essential modes for taking a challenge from ideation to implementation, and focuses on solving real workplace challenges to develop practical solutions.

-Participants will walk away with the SID model for coming up with workable ideas and implementable solutions faster PLUS one or more business issues solved using the model. 

-The participants can be prepared / coached for a presentation back to stakeholders offering real solutions. 

-Stakeholder pre and post briefings should be included (& learn about the process / content) to ensure there is full alignment in the whole end to end process.

This facilitated session helps participants to use design & creative thinking strategies for problem solving. Using Tirian’s ‘Strategies for Innovative Development (SID)’ ^TM model, the facilitator takes the group through a series of well sequenced critical thinking steps to explore real ill-defined or tricky problems and come up with unique practical solutions.
