Creativity: How Great Ideas Are Generated

Where do great ideas come from? And can creativity be developed?

Creativity: How Great Ideas Are Generated

Great ideas rarely appear out of nowhere. They emerge from curiosity, observation, experimentation, unexpected connections, and the ability to look at familiar things from a different perspective. This interactive workshop explores how creativity works and how ideas are generated, developed, challenged, and transformed into something new. Through practical exercises, inspiring examples, and different creative approaches, participants will explore their own creative process and learn how to move from an initial thought to a meaningful idea.

Why it matters

  • Creativity

    Helps participants understand how ideas are generated and develop practical techniques to unlock new perspectives and possibilities.

  • Critical Thinking

    Encourages participants to question assumptions, challenge first ideas, and explore different ways of approaching a problem.

  • Adaptability

    Builds the confidence to experiment, embrace uncertainty, and iterate when an idea does not work the first time.

What's included

  • Workshop led by a creative expert from our diverse network of artists, designers, innovators, entrepreneurs, technologists, and cultural practitioners (available in English, Spanish, or Catalan).
  • Full organization of the workshop and speaker management at your office or online.
  • Pre-experience toolkit with activities designed to stimulate curiosity, observation, and creative thinking.
