Bite size sessions can often deliver enough, but sometimes you need to become immersed in a subject. Our immersion sessions are particularly aimed at those who are going to spearhead a topic within the organization – those who will make regular use of the expertise, or who will act as ambassadors to spread the word. Most run with 10 to 20 people – that’s still as little as £100 each for a day’s training.

Immersion sessions cost £2,000 per day or are available for small groups at our individual rate of £295/head (minimum 3 attendees).

Like all our sessions, pricing assumes you will provide the facilities and excludes VAT, books and travel expenses. To keep costs down you could omit giving a book to attendees, but we strongly recommend it as a very effective way to sustain the message back into the workplace.

Click on an event to jump down to the detail:

• Creativity Day - a full day, providing immersion in creativity techniques

• Creativity In-depth - two-day course for those helping others with their creativity

• The Full Agenda - management day on supporting and encouraging creativity in the organization

• I'm not Creative - our new one day session that brings out the creativity in the individual with a mix of techniques and mapping of personal skills onto creative output.

As with all our seminar styles, we can develop a custom built-session or offer facilitation. Our off-the-shelf sessions suit many organizations, but should your need be to go beyond one of the packages above we can tailor a product to your exact requirements - please contact us at info@cul.co.uk to discuss your needs. After development we can deliver the course at our standard rate, licence it to you for in-house use, or sell it outright for your exclusive use.

Creativity Day

One of the most popular sessions, the creativity day is long enough to allow the participants to get a good immersion in creativity techniques. There are two main variants of the creativity day. Each is very interactive and participative, but variant A gives attendees the widest toolkit of techniques to go away ready to use, including several quick exercises helpful for improving team working, while variant B gives the participants a whole group afternoon to attack a single problem using a more detailed approach.

In variant A, the first half of the day combines an interactive learning exercise - an expanded form of the taster that gives more information on creativity – with an opportunity to take a single problem through the four stage creative process in small groups. The second half of the day builds a toolkit of techniques to go away and use, finishing with a personal agenda, pulling together the techniques as they are most likely to be used. Variant B goes into even more detail in the morning, with a few sample techniques to gain experience. In the afternoon, variant B addresses one or more real problems provided by the client, using a full framework of techniques, taking the participants in small groups through each of the stages of Imagination Engineering.

In both cases, participants will be able to take what they have learned and apply it to future problems and idea generation requirements. [Maximum of 20 people]

Recommended book: Imagination Engineering - £20.99 – a challenging yet fun introduction to business creativity incorporating a toolkit of techniques and a practical framework to make it happen.
 

Creativity In-depth

This session is particularly aimed at those whose creative role involves helping others – facilitators, training, HR, communications, PR, operational research, etc. The first day of the course parallels the creativity day above. The second day starts with a short session on the use of computers and the Internet in creativity, but the main focus is on group creativity. Participants are given a wide range of opportunities to experience leading groups in creativity and to learn the skills required to help a group achieve a creative end. [Maximum 10 people with 1 trainer or 20 people with 2 trainers]

Recommended books: Imagination Engineering - £20.99 – a challenging yet fun introduction to business creativity incorporating a toolkit of techniques and a practical framework to make it happen. Crash Course in Creativity - £14.99 – pulls together 150 techniques and exercises from our Instant books in a structured course with guided reading and online resources.
 

The Full Agenda

Like the bite size Creative Agenda, this seminar concentrates on the agenda for building a culture where creativity can thrive. This longer form (one day), gives more opportunity to develop specific ideas for your company and is best with groups of 12 or less. It begins with a half day introduction to creativity, with practical experience of creativity techniques, then concentrates on why creativity isn't common at the moment and the mechanisms that can be used to bring innovation to the company.

Recommended books: Creativity and Innovation for Managers - £21.99 – a management guide to building an agenda for creativity and innovation within a company. Not ‘how to be creative’ but ‘how to make creativity part of the corporate culture’. Imagination Engineering - £20.99 – a challenging yet fun introduction to business creativity incorporating a toolkit of techniques and a practical framework to make it happen.
 

I'm not Creative

When we talk to people at random, more than 70 per cent say that they are not creative. They might be good at their job, at getting on with things... but they aren't really a creative person. This new one day session is designed to break through that self-fulfilling prophesy - because if you believe you aren't creative, you won't be. You will suppress your ideas, because they are worthless. Attendees get a chance to assess their own skills, discover how creativity goes far beyond the traditional definition and to apply those skills to the workplace, bringing creativity techniques to play to amplify the effect. It's a personal morale booster and a great way to build a creative workforce.
