"I found the trainer very informative and able to easily facilitate discussion of issues and options which included learnings from a multi disciplinary approach. Multiple resources were identified which should help staff identify new approaches and ways of thinking about complicated problems and issues."

"The most useful part of the course was that conversations and discussions were started amongst our team as a result of the trainers facilitation and probing questions. As a female participant I was also very impressed how the trainer delivered herself, confident and knowledgeable, and this gave me confidence to contribute more."

"James is a very well rounded and experienced trainer. A true asset to your business."
-Mosaic Property Developments
"This was a great course for identifying tools we can use in creative problem solving. Having us complete an activity following the creative problem solving method was a great example of how we can actually apply this learning and the benefits of doing so. I also found the content on identifying and removing mind blocks and stimulating creativity very useful (and refreshing!). Thanks Siobhan!"
-GTA Consultants
"The trainer is great, he is an experienced and knowledgeable trainer. He has delivered the positive thinking and ways of solving the problems that I currently have. He tailored the training to meet my specific needs which is really helpful.
I was familiar with a lot of the content, but as an introductory course it provided a lot of practical tools and strategies to apply in the workplace. The trainer was personable and enthusiastic, and I really enjoyed the day and opportunity for reflection."
Individual Course Participant
In the past few decades, psychologists and business people alike have discovered that successful problem solvers tend to use the same type of process to identify and implement the solutions to their problems. This process works for any kind of problem, large or small.
This Creative Problem Solving workshop will give participants an overview of the entire creative problem solving process, as well as key problem solving tools that they can use every day.

When you want a tailored learning experience targeting exactly what you want without bringing everyone physically together, the best choice is a Live Online Class run by PDT.
We tailor the content and activities to be specific to your current needs and the needs of the people and run the course in our usual activity-based workshop style training, however, the participants can all be offsite, or some can be in the room with others offsite.
Unless you have a preferred tools we use 'Zoom for Education' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, we also include things like live polls and group chats so you virtually have the same collaborative learning experience of attending a course in a room with other people.
We have delivered these 100's (if not 1000's) of times, and get great outcomes. We achieve great outcomes because we keep our learner centric approach - just because it’s delivered through a screen to some or all participants doesn’t mean it needs to be less tailored or less personalised.
You still have an expert trainer who talks to you prior to the session and tailors the delivery to use your terminology, ensure activities are relevant and directly applicable and ensures an engaging learning experience that provide people with skills and techniques they can apply the very next day.
A hybrid class is with some people connecting online, and some people physically together in the same room.
We provide the Training Management Centre which is an information hub before, during and after training.
