Creative Problem Solving: How do we approach challenges and find the best solutions?
Join us for this introduction to solving challenges and opportunities. This is where we have some fun understanding why we work so well with some people and not so well with others. From this workshop we will explore how the Basadur Simplexity Profile developed by Dr. Min Basadur sets the stage for optimizing how we solve challenges and opportunities both individually and collectively. This intro workshop is a pre-requisite for Simplexity Level 1 for Problem Solving.
This workshop is being held on Thursday, May 20, 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.
This workshop has a 50 person limit.
Learning Outcomes Overview:
Anyone looking for clarity on any opportunity or challenge (i.e. research questions for faculty looking to begin grant or sponsorship applications) will find Simplexity a valuable tool. It’s easy to get stuck and caught in words and ideas. Invest the time and energy to follow the Simplexity process and the outcome will be a topographical roadmap to navigate key issues decided by you or the team.
Required Survey Upon Registration:
When you register for the workshop you will receive a link to complete the profile survey. The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete. Don’t over-think the questions as there is no right answer – it’s simply exploring how we each like to approach solving an opportunity or challenge. The Basadur Simplexity Profile has been peer-reviewed five times with over 5000 participants and is used by organizations globally.
