We had a fabulous time last week at the "Creativity Olympics" at the BFLG meeting in Leeds. They were all gold medal winners and so when I asked them to pose for this photo I said "Look like winners!" I thought you might like to see the fabulous ideas the group came up with around the "Capturing" competency so click on this link: Capturing Ideas

We had another great idea which I have already shared with other trainers...... the "Creativity Flashmob". This is how it works:

• The next time you have a problem you want to solve warn a few people that you will need their help
• When you are ready, get by your flip chart or large piece of paper and text everyone to come for just 10 minutes
• Use a creativity technique to generate ideas, keeping an eye on the time
• Once the 10 minutes is up, everyone dissipates leaving you with the ideas and some time to evaluate them

I love it!!! No more getting stumped or coming up against a brick wall - a creative boost just when you need it!
