Shaping innovations in an interdisciplinary way
Shaping innovations in an interdisciplinary way
Interdisciplinary research requires the ability to creatively combine different ways of thinking and working. In order to develop innovative approaches, there needs to be room for joint brainstorming and clearly defined goals that serve as a binding orientation in the research process.
Interdisciplinary Minds offers workshops on the topics of innovation and goal development - with the aim of effectively combining creative idea generation with a goal-oriented way of working.
Methods
- Variety of methods: Various methods of different training approaches (design thinking, systemic work, co-creative facilitation, creativity techniques, liberating structures, Theory U) lead to sustainable learning success.
- Differentiated learning settings: Structured stimuli alternate with group and individual work phases and promote a productive working environment.
- Creative approaches: Visual and creative methods promote reflection and integration - especially in complex work situations.
