About this resource

Most people were never taught how to think creatively — they were just expected to be creative. This course addresses that gap directly.

What the course covers

Over four weeks, you work through the core mechanics of idea generation: how assumptions block original thinking, how constraints can actually produce better ideas, and how to move past the first obvious answer.

Sessions use real workplace scenarios — product decisions, communication problems, process bottlenecks — so the techniques connect immediately to your actual work.

Each module includes solo exercises and group challenges, because creative thinking develops differently depending on context and pressure.

Who this suits

Professionals who feel their thinking has become predictable. People returning to study after a break. Anyone who has been told they are not creative and wants to test that assumption.

No artistic background required. No prior coursework assumed.

Programme

  1. Week 1 — How assumptions shape thinking

    Identifying fixed mental models. Exercises in reframing familiar problems from unfamiliar angles.

  2. Week 2 — Constraint-based ideation

    Using limits as a generative tool. Timed challenges with restricted parameters.

  3. Week 3 — Idea development and selection

    Moving from quantity to quality. Criteria for evaluating ideas without killing them early.

  4. Week 4 — Applying creative thinking at work

    Real-scenario workshops. Personal toolkit review and peer feedback session.
