You will gain a clear understanding of which tools to use at each stage of the CPS process, as well as how to modify them to fit your session objectives or add a bit of creative flair. You will also learn a variety of energizers and fun grouping games to keep your sessions engaging and interactive.

• Explore a variety of divergent and convergent techniques for individual and group problem solving.
• Learn how and where to apply different tools within the CPS process.
• Practice facilitating tools.
• Learn how to create and adapt tools.
• Discover ideation tools that you can apply in other processes, as well.
