This document discusses elements that can be incorporated into creativity training programs:
[1] Multiculturality can be leveraged by having participants from different places share different perspectives through activities like role playing, discussing movies and case studies, and encouraging people to change perspectives. [2] Flexibility is important and can be developed through exposing people to new ideas and accepting ideas that seem unusual. [3] Improvisation skills can be built by practicing idea generation techniques, building on others' contributions, and using improv rules of engagement. Together these elements can help people and organizations be more innovative.
