Building Team Efficiency and Effectiveness

Wouldn’t it be great if you could get to better ideas faster? If you learn to master just two thinking skills, you can! Many of the PMI supported tools have origins in creativity. As such, these tools are best leveraged when you apply divergent thinking (to generate) or convergent thinking (to narrow). This session will explore the principles of divergent and convergent thinking and provide examples of techniques to maximize their power in decision making, problem solving and performance feedback. Why would you choose the first solution that comes to mind when you could choose from among many? Walk away from this webinar knowing how to better generate, develop and evaluate solutions to challenges.
