Event Description

The Osborne-Parnes Creative Problem Solving Process is one of the most high energy idea generative processes around. It approaches problems through a set of ‘finding’ (Mess-Finding, Fact-Finding…) steps that yield high volumes of targeted ideas with solution possibilities. It pushes the users past evaluation and into generation. M. D. Anderson Cancer uses it in solving broad scale change, but creativity is not a respecter of size. Every facilitator should be equipped with this energizing method.

Comments

Community Training Networks(CTN) are an exciting way for ASTD Houston to bring learning directly to the learner.

Meetings are created so professionals can share in each others’ development and success. CTN provides a forum for presenters to discuss current issues, best practices, and trends in workplace learning and development. CTN meetings are open to everyone interested in learning in how they can enhance their own skills, or the knowledge and skills of others. The sessions are designed to provide for a facilitated session, networking and discussion .

Apart of ASTD Houston's commitment to attendees is that presenters are asked not to "sell their services or materials.

Please register for the Event so that we may notify you of any program, location, or weather changes. You may also want to join the CTN(s) of your choice so that you can receive notification of upcoming events and participate in the Community Training Network Forum conversations.
