Momentum Innovation Training Suite:

• Momentum CPS — Creative Problem Solving  –– CPS is a flexible, proven, and comprehensive framework and an essential set of basic skills for any innovation program. It contains a wide range of tools, techniques, that takes you from visioning to action planning. It’s adaptable to all contexts and can integrate easily with other frameworks (such as Design Thinking, Lean, and Agile) in a focused innovation effort. Momentum CPS is an advanced version of the Osborn-Parnes model. Half day to 2.5 day versions.
• Momentum Innovation Facilitation Training —Hands-on facilitation training provides on-going value, with improvements to any innovation process. It also saves money because you don’t need to hire expensive outside consultants. This training is an essential building block for a productive innovation program. Content includes innovation project management concepts, roles, methods, and advanced tools. Consider combining training sessions with an ideation project to reinforce and leverage learning.  Two day intensive training best done with a small group.
• Momentum Improv — This training workshop is the learning experience your people will talk about — and use — for years to come. This course is not about being funny — it’s about opening the door to creativity and using it to achieve business results. It’s Improv to Problem Solve, unlike the improvisation schools who do wonderful workshops for team building but don’t show you how to integrate Improv directly into your innovation process. This is a half day or full day course.
• Momentum Innovation Concepts Intensive — This is a one day, deep dive immersion into innovation concepts. It’s targeted to those who are new to the innovation area, including project managers, innovation team members, researchers, and executives. This is innovation basic training, and it covers: Why Innovation? What is innovation? What are innovation process frameworks, how to establish and improve an culture, organizing projects, pitches for resources, mandates, and more. This training gets rave reviews from customers who often train large groups of managers.
• Momentum Team Effectiveness Training — Momentum is a one-day, intensive, team training workshop. It’s ideal for teams seeking to improve performance. Momentum is highly experiential and hands-on. Concepts are taught using interactive exercises and challenges. Make no mistake, this is not about trust falls and karaoke. Momentum starts with a validated thinking style assessment (using the Foursight Online measure) and it ends with a team action plan. It’s ideal for Innovation Teams, but also appropriate for any team seeking to improve.
