Solve Problems through Anticonventional Thinking - an Alternative to BrainstormingYou know that you have a great team of creative people. But sometimes you need a capable facilitator who can push your team to generate creative ideas to solve specific problems or achieve stated goals. You also appreciate that an intelligent outsider will see your challenges in a different perspective and can use that to provide you and your team with fresh insights that spark a higher level creative thinking. Jeffrey Baumgartner can do all of this and more for you. Jeffrey is not like your typical facilitator who focuses on gimmicks and generating more ideas than you know what to do with. Rather, he will work with your team to understand the underlying issues behind your problem and how they relate to strategy. Then he will guide you through his anticonventional thinking process to enable you to generate a very few viable but creative solutions that you can work with. He understands that leaving you with dozens of random ideas to sort out is not a useful result. Leaving you with a solution and the first steps toward implementing it, on the other hand, is the kind of result you probably prefer. If this sounds like what you need, contact Jeffrey to discuss your situation -- in complete confidence. Warning: please note that there is a very real danger that you and your colleagues may enjoy the creative thinking experience with Jeffrey. Outbreaks of smiles and even laughter are a frequent side effect of Jeffrey's anticonventional thinking workshops. If such behaviour is not tolerated in your company, you probably don't want Jeffrey. Jeffrey's most recent anticonventional thinking workshop was about saving the Algarve, a region of Portugal. Read the case study here. Or read this case study using brainstorming (from the days before Jeffrey developed and published his anticonventional thinking paper).
