Hello,

I have been tasked with providing Creativity Training for a creativity task force that was just formed in our organization. I am looking for a dymnamic trainer that could provide on-site training about imagination, creativity, mind mapping, idea generation, etc.

We are located in the Philadelphia area-any suggestions?

If you have to train them in creativity etc you got the wrong people. If you train them they might come up with a camel instead of a horse. You really can't put in what god left out.

Let me make sure I'm understanding what you're saying first... your organization formed a creativity task force that consists of people who lack creativity?

Furthermore, to help pinpoint what is going on here... What exactly is this task force's mission? Are all of the people lacking in creativity?

Sounds to me as if the real issue is that your organization needs to understand how to form a task force...

I can see how you might have misunderstood. The organization has selected "creative" individuals to form a task team to generate new ideas within the organization. They don't lack creativity, but rather need to learn to work as a team in a "creative" environment which is not typical for a Financial institution.

In order to do so, the plan is to bring on a facilitator for a workshop to tap into their natural talent, help them understand how to use that talent and utilize tools to bring ideas to realization.

I have found one resource that looks promising.

Thanks...
