We’re faced with problems to solve and challenges to meet and overcome on a daily basis. Sometimes it can be difficult to ‘step back’ from the situation and generate options and solutions to move things forwards.

This session will introduce some practical tools and techniques to help you analyse the problems and challenges you’re facing and to generate ideas, options and solutions to solve those problems.

There’ll be a short time at the end of the session for questions and answers to help with any specific issues you may have.
