In Thinking Out of the Box training course, you will learn the nine techniques for "thinking outside the box". For each technique, we will look at specific examples related to building and managing new systems. We will explore in detail how these ways of thinking can be used to solve difficult problems. We will also look at some other ways of thinking and examine group processes, both good and not-so-good. Exchange of personal ideas and experiences will be encouraged throughout the course. The course will conclude with a self- assessment that you can use to gauge your own proclivity for out of the box thinking. All in all, the course will help in learning new ways of thinking that you can put to immediate use to improve the engineering and management of today's complex systems.
This Thinking Out of the Box workshop assumes a couple of years of prior experience in designing and building systems, large or small.
This Thinking Out of the Box class is meant for Working systems engineers who wish to 'overcome' the conventional wisdom that gets in the way of building good systems and solving difficult problems.
