Creativity Training Testimonials

The 2 days innovation training and the following 3 days workshop impressed me a lot. You offered us an excellent methodology for innovation, and even more important is that you made every participant understand and accept it very well.
I believe that all participants will benefit from it for their work. To say it frankly, this is the best training I experienced in my professional career in about 25 years.

The training provided us with many useful tools and approaches. If these are used, everybody can create useful solutions that add value, regardless if used for personal or professional challenges.

Jack Wang, CEO, Tenx, Taiwan

Not least because we spontaneously left the extremely hot training room and went outside helped us to get useful approaches for our daily work. Especially interesting were the different steps of the creative process. This facilitates to exchange knowledge and expectations, to visualize global goals and diverse preconditions in order to identify the specific challenge to be solved.

Regine Gerent, head of marketing, audio media service

We were looking for methods of creative problem solving. After an intensive and interesting two days’ training we have found them. Presented flexibly and entertaining the results meet exactly our expectations. The two days have been a lot of fun and were definitely worth it.
Dr. Gerd Papier, Senior Vice President Research & Development, Felix Schoeller GmbH

In a PR agency creative thinking is always needed and sometimes required instantaneously. With the help of the structured approach of the creaffective training we further speed up the development of new ideas and at the same time ensure their feasibility. I am excited how easily the training contents can be applied in the daily work of an agency.
