I’d like to try out some of the ideas you mentioned like open ended questions and the PPCO format. Thanks for sharing this info and I hope this type of training can be shared with a larger audience here at Molecular.

I was a creative director in advertising agencies for years before I even knew there was a "science" of creativity. Several years ago, I went back to school to begin my Master's in the Science of Creativity and Change Leadership and learn just the process you describe so well. I now focus on facilitating teams through the creative process to develop strategic plans, branding and marketing plans, sustainability plans, and to overcome challenges and look for opportunities. I see the transformational power a deliberate approach to creativity has on the culture of an organization. Good luck with it. I hope you come up with the next great innovation in project management.
