InnovativEye Launches 1-Hour Course on Innovative Thinking
The online version of IdeaCycles will change the way you think and the results you achieve. It will challenge you to define one question or issue you want to solve, then you will be guided through a series of interactive exercises to create radically different ideas. The process moves outside your normal thinking patterns which confine your creativity to assumptions, patterns and inertia. When faced with challenges, we often make decisions that are predictable. In following these reliable thinking patterns we actually eliminate the option for innovation. The gravity of the logic that defines our typical course of action does not permit us to think outside of our own knowledge or experiences.Experience teaches us the safe course of action. Repetition of situations validated by predictable results in turn confirms that those responses are appropriate. However, to conceive a new, innovative and brilliant solution, this habitual behavior becomes the enemy of creativity.
Unique Solutions are the order of the day. The IdeasCycles course offers just that: changing your thinking cycles and making way for a radically unique and original set of possibilities.
This entrepreneurial boot camp will elevate your idea quest out of the canyons of habit and back to your original creative plateau where new creative idea cyclescan reveal blue ocean opportunities.
The IdeasCycles course can help you make innovation an intentional path!
Extensions of the initial IdeaCycles course will include how to further develop new ideas and ultimately how to achieve buy in for innovative ideas.

The Innovative Eye Program
In collaboration with Dave Kresta, Chas Martin has created an Innovation Eye Program. The aim of the program is to integrate entrepreneurial creativity with pragmatic planning to create a competitive advantage.
This program is split up in three primary stages. The first phase of preparation sets parameters and seeks to engage the key participants. The Development Phase draws a draft of a concise business plan after taking into account the cross sectional factors and determinants. The Execution Phase maps the plans to longer term strategies.
All in all it is a very engaging experience and triggers creative output.
Six Thinking Hats Course
Edward De Bono's concept of thinking hats has shaped the trajectory of innovation for many business related concepts. It is a tool for collaborative creative thinking which introduced parallel thinking and lateral thinking techniques. His Six Thinking Hats approach represents thinking strategies with each colored hat symbolizing a different approach. For example the Green Hat represents Creative Thinking, Black Hat represents Critical thinking so on and so forth. De Bono believed that people could be more productive in meetings and collaborating within groups and teams by deliberately using these approaches.
InnovativEye offers a one day course which uses the approach of the Six Thinking Hats as promulgated by De Bono. The activity achieves break through results; with the optimal employee involvement it stimulates the creative process and lays the foundation for collaborative creativity.
