Leverage Change Creatively
Advanced, Large Scale Application of Polarity and Creative Problem Solving
February 5 and March 19, 2022
Alex Osborn, Sid Parnes, and Ruth Noller established and developed the deliberate creativity training and research frontier. In the spirit of continued creativity discovery, Creative Education Foundation is proud to announce our Innovation Lab, a series of workshops which focus on leading edge topics designed with seasoned deliberate creativity professionals in mind. Together, we will develop the next deliberate creativity frontiers.
The first workshop in this series is Leverage Change Creatively: Advanced, Large Scale Application of Polarity and Creative Problem Solving. This advanced 5-hour, 2-Day virtual workshop is designed for deliberate creativity professionals trained in Creative Problem Solving (CPS) and Polarity Thinking.
WHEN
Session 1:
Saturday, February 5
12–2:30pm EST
Session 2:
Saturday, March 19
12– 2:30pm EST
WHAT
Bestselling author Robert W. “Jake” Jacobs and Polarity Master Elizabeth Monroe-Cook, PhD will present “Leverage Change Creatively.” During this workshop, attendees will be active contributors in the learning process. Together, we will explore how Polarity Thinking is a Creative Problem Solving process. The Presenters will share a case study from the Illumination Project about the large-scale application of Polarity Thinking to bring communities and police departments together to address critical safety, trust, and justice issues. Through this course, we will explore how large scale application of CPS can expand, enhance, and deepen this work.
We will explore future applications of these processes with a goal to advance deliberate creativity thought leadership and implementation. The results of our shared social justice work will be published and shared with the wider CEF community.
