Module: Brain and Behavioural Change Programme: Neuroeffective Tools for Living, Learning and Leading - with Professor Patricia Riddell and Ian McDermott

In times of economic hardship, one way for individuals and organisations to survive is to be more innovative than their competitors. Innovation requires creativity and insight to come up with new products, new solutions or new markets.

One of the wonders of the human brain is its ability to generate novel ideas. Sometimes these seem to require sweat and tears, while at other times they arrive out of the blue. So, how can we create this type of original thinking when we need it most?

By exploring what changes in the brain during different types of creativity and insight we can improve our chances of being creative when we need this most. We will use practical exercises to show you how best to increase your own creativity and problem solving.

By the end of this module, you should:

  • Understand the importance of a climate that is suited to creative thinking and have tools to create this climate.
  • Differentiate between different types of creativity and know which type is best for particular applications.
  • Understand the nature of insight and know how best to cultivate this in yourself and others.
  • Be able to determine types of creativity and insight to support best states for goal setting.
  • Be able to describe the brain systems involved in creativity and insight in a manner that is accessible and useful to non-experts.
