Inside the project
Focus

The bottleneck for creativity in organizations was usually not a lack of ideas but the absence of a working environment where ideas could be protected and developed.
Scope
We brought together creativity, innovation and lean thinking in training and workshop sessions with two groups. Through hands-on exercises, we explored the seven areas of waste, blue ocean strategy and creative thinking techniques to develop ideas.
Implementation
HOW WERE CREATIVE TECHNIQUES USED IN THIS PROJECT?
We used creativity techniques not as showmanship but as tools teams tested on their own problems. Each technique was applied to a real product or process problem.
