Overview

Who should attend?

Designed for managers, supervisors and technical staff in food and drinks manufacturing and retailing, who want to act and think in a more creative way.

Course overview

Learn to cascade the concepts of innovation and spread the message that innovation is for everyone, everywhere, all the time. Bury the idea that innovation is not for you and you have nothing to contribute. All managers and their teams need to think creatively - 'outside their boxes and comfort zones'.

This popular course will inspire delegates to use very simple but highly effective innovation tools and techniques to run idea-generating sessions, to lead and organise brainstorming sessions, and give them the ability, confidence and techniques to 'pick winners', 'stop the flops' and 'kill off the duffs' whether idea, product, or process. Participants will master the evolutionary technique of cube crawling as a tool for idea generation.

A very interactive and participative course, the day will consist of a number of workshops, brainstorming practicals and presentations. Special emphasis will be placed on structures and practical issues for innovation. This course will amaze you with the simplicity of the techniques and the value of the end product. It has inspired the development of many new products and services within the food and drinks industry over the last ten years. Imagine how much you will benefit from attending!

Ideas and Inspiration in Food and Drink Products is also held in Dublin, Ireland.
