Innovation Workshops - what customers say

"In an intensive three day workshop, with the help of Florian Rustler and his creativity toolkit we were able to develop several truly new ideas for a challenging product request.
Particularly helpful was the strong focus on problem definition in the first half of the workshop. This helped us to align the participants from different functions, and provided a solid basis for efficient idea generation and evaluation.
All in all, our expectations were fully met, and we consider working with creaffective again."

Dr. Falk Herrmann,
VP Engineering Asia-Pacific,
Bosch Power Tools (China)

"Six months of effective and creative guidance of our development project through creaffective have proven that professional and systematic support leads to strong results that make sense. A big thank you to Mr. Rustler who was always well prepared, selected the right tools and methods and guided our group very well."

Günter Kachelrieß,
Director Portfolio Management, Siemens AG

"The new approach to known problems and especially the development of creative solutions have convinced me.Florian Rustler gives a fresh impetus in every phase of the workshop to create new solutions.The implementation of the solutions developed in the workshop already shows positive effects."

Udo Mager, CEO, City of Dortmund Economic Development Agency

"The creaffective methodology provides a safe framework to get to sound results. Especially interesting was to discover that behind the obvious problem lies the real problem that we then worked on in the workshop. In practice there is otherwise the risk to develop solutions for problems that don't exist."

Andreas Cludius,
Abteilungsleiter Grundsatzfragen/ Operational Service Mittelstand, BayernLB

"The most fascinating was how we quickly developed new approaches to a known problem and worked out the specific steps to solve the problem."

Dr. Philip Scherenberg,CEO of Die Komplizen: Mentoring für Schüler gGmbH

"Creativity needs freedom, however, in the end there should be a specific outcome that can be implemented. In a very professional and entertaining workshop Mr. Rustler could combine and assure both aspects. Within a very short time we were able to set our priorities and to define next steps.
Thank you for the great support.“
