About this course
According to LinkedIn Learning, creative thinking is the most important skill in the world... and there are a number of reasons to support this idea.
Put simply, creative thinking means ‘thinking outside the box’ or in other words it means thoughtfully approaching something from a new perspective. It’s a way of developing an original idea or overcoming a challenge - and that’s something that anyone can benefit from, whether you think of yourself as a creative person or not.
Creative thinking can be applied in many different ways. For example, it can help you:
- Resolve a conflict at work
- Write a more engaging email, report, or blog
- Organise an activity filled holiday
- Ask an insightful question during a team meeting
- Recognise a previously unnoticed pattern
Our CPD Accredited Creative Thinking Training course will help users understand why creative thinking is an important skill, as well as understanding how they can practice their creative thinking. The course can be completed in just 15 minutes and provides a printable certificate upon completion.

I really enjoyed this quick summary
Just a good reminder of how to get those creative juices running- giving time for researching, reflection, using mind maps, collaborating with others, being positive about others ideas. The course is a positive and encouraging experience!
