Wat anderen zeggen

Henk van der Steen (facilitator@Troje)

De Masterclass ‘Creativiteit & Problemen oplossen: hoe zit het nou echt?’ gaf mij een nieuwe, bredere èn diepere kijk op de begrippen creativiteit en probleemoplossing. We denken allemaal wel ongeveer te weten wat het is en hoe het werkt, maar Willemijn brengt je daar als deelnemer een flink stuk verder in. Naast de verrassende theoretische onderbouwing was de workshop erg goed in interactiviteit en de afwisseling van werkvormen. En tot slot is Willemijn als expert en facilitator een hele prettige, energieke en sprankelende persoonlijkheid. Kortom: zeer zeker een aanrader als je denkt alles al te weten over creativiteit, of als je met een team op een creatieve manier aan probleemoplossing wil werken.

Annemarie Boereboom (New Business Developer@Vialis)

Over de Masterclass Creativiteit & Problemen oplossen: hoe zit het nou eigenlijk? Als Innovatie en New Business Developer ben ik dagelijks in mijn werk bezig met creatieve en out of the box ideeën en oplossingen. Hoewel nieuwsgierig naar deze Masterclass was ik ook een beetje bang dat het weer zou eindigen in een brainstormsessie met geeltjes. Het tegendeel was waar! Door de koppeling van wetenschappelijk onderzoek op het gebied van creativiteit aan praktijkcases bracht deze sessie veel meer inzichten dan vooraf verwacht.
Met praktische voorbeelden uit verschillende branches werd een goede brug geslagen met de theorie en welke aanpak nu wel of niet werkt en waarom. Het was echt een verdiepingssessie op het gebied van creativiteit die ik nog niet eerder gezien heb.
Het heeft ons team goede handvatten gegeven om onze eigen creativiteit sessies nog waardevoller te maken. Praktische handvatten en in te zetten tools zijn slechts het topje van deze training, het biedt zoveel meer. Zeker een aanrader voor mensen die meer willen weten over creativiteit en het komen tot vernieuwende oplossingen!

Nel Mostert (facilitator@MCCIM)

It is about time that somebody builds a solid base of the fragmented and therefore heavily under-used collection of creativity research, knowledge & tools. This base that Willemijn is building, will offer the ‘world of creativity’ a balanced view of what it consists of, how it can be applied and, ultimately, how this knowledge can make our world a better world through offering humankind a view of the wealth of connecting possibilities that creativity offers.
