Overview
The aim
To enable people to turn good ideas into effective action.
About the programme
The green stage of Mark Brown's creative-thinking process enables people to translate ideas into action and make things happen. Using a ‘four-box model’, it introduces a framework for empowerment - this enables people to take the initiative and motivates them to be responsible for their own ideas.
This inspirational programme mixes live action and animation to convey its message and is targeted both at individuals and managers. Individuals will be encouraged to ‘happen to the world’, not let ‘the world happen to them’. They will understand when and how to apply initiative and creativity.
For managers who are keen to empower their people it will help them hand over responsibility without losing control, and give people space to realise their creative potential. This will release dynamism and creativity into the organisation.
The programme also includes an activities manual to help direct creative thinking.
