The "Learning Disruptive Thinking" course focuses on developing a mindset that promotes innovation and creativity. The goal of this continuing education is to help participants overcome old thought patterns and establish a culture that views change and mistakes as learning opportunities. This is especially important in times of AI and digitalization, as new technologies often require rapid adaptation.
Participants learn how both hemispheres of the brain — the creative and the analytical — can be used for success. Practical creativity techniques are taught to effectively integrate innovation into daily work. Topics covered include creating frameworks for creative processes, using divergence and convergence in thinking, and effectively positioning ideas in the market.
A core component of the course is putting together an innovation toolkit. This includes:
- Breaking old thought patterns
- Using associations
- Disruptive thinking
- Experimenting
Through these techniques, participants learn to motivate their teams to think creatively and break through operational barriers. The focus is on developing formats that create enthusiasm for change and dynamically support transformation.
People in areas such as change management, project management, research and development, or product management particularly benefit from this continuing education. They receive tools to create space for change in their daily work, despite operational pressure. Learning creative approaches helps inspire the team and encourage "out-of-the-box" thinking.
Graduates of the course can benefit from Open Badges, digital certificates of participation that document their acquired knowledge in a recognized way. These certificates highlight skills in disruptive thinking and make them visible to potential employers or collaboration partners.
In summary, the course offers not only theoretical insights but also practical approaches to creating creative and innovation-promoting environments that are essential for success in a rapidly changing world.
