Features

Innovation and creativity training sessions are usually performed by an innovation or creativity consulting firm that specializes in teaching large groups of people different methods of problem solving and brainstorming. Some companies even pair individual employees with a creativity coach.

Methods

There are various ways in which innovation and creativity consultants and coaches train employees. These methods include analogies, card games, team-building exercises, word games, drawing, painting, story telling and even improvisation sessions.
