Workshop and Consulting Topics

Creative Problem Solving + Collage Workshop

There isn't one right way to solve a problem or be creative. That is why Nourish delivers an interactive creative problem-solving (CPS) workshop that blends proven framework with art practice to help participants tap into their imagination and unlock creative solutions.

CSP is a critical skill that fuels growth and experimentation. Through the practice of collage, participants are invited to play, think outside the box, and develop innovative solutions.

The objective of this workshop is to:

  • Reinforce a shared language of creative problem solving
  • Provide tools that help employees to develop fresh approaches to workplace challenges.
  • Introduce participants to the medium of collage
