Presented by Dr Elwood Jefferson,
World Renowned Innovation Guru...Or is he? Entertain and challenge even the most hardened audience with
this unique keynote and workshop from Graeme Bowman. Can your people tell if something is true or false? Real or fake? More to the point, when Dr Elwood Jefferson takes the stage, will your audience be able to separate fact from fiction? Because, in this unique presentation, your audience is going to get both: genuine tips on how to think more creatively, plus a hearty dose of codswallop. And plenty of laughs. ‘Dr Elwood Jefferson’ is actually Graeme Bowman, not only one of Australia’s leading hoax speakers, but also a certified instructor in Lateral Thinking, accredited by the De Bono Institute. So Graeme is well qualified to take your audience on a highly stimulating intellectual roller-coaster, while also outlining skills and attitudes that create innovative ideas – the sort of ideas that make money and save money. Here’s how it works:
• Elwood, an American innovation expert, makes incisive comments about your organisation and industry, then introduces principles of creative thinking. (Audience: ‘This guy is a genius’.)
• He then describes ridiculous examples of creative solutions to various issues. (Audience: ‘This guy is an idiot.’)
• Elwood, fake American guru, turns into Graeme, real Australian expert, who explains genuine lateral thinking tools. (Audience: ‘So this is how creative people do it!’)
• The keynote turns into a workshop, with participants practising their new skills. (Audience: ‘Hey, I can be creative, too!) Main Benefits:
This session will motivate your people to challenge their current thinking style, and show them how to escape from old ideas and generate new ones. They will then be able to use thinking tools to improve products, systems, processes and relationships. Importantly, the benefits gained by individuals can apply to their personal as well as professional lives. Duration can be from 1 - 2 hours. If your available time slot is less than 60 minutes, it’s best to leave out the workshop. Please Note: if you prefer, Graeme can present a creative thinking session without the hoax element, or, alternatively, a hoax without the creative thinking element.
Comments about Graeme’s Creative Thinking Presentations: You had the team captivated right from the start, and have found that great balance between entertainment and dealing with the serious issues at hand. I would not hesitate to recommend you to other organisations that are looking for a guest presenter to cut through the 'sameness' of a conference and deliver a strong but entertaining message...Agfa-Gevaert The combination of a one-hour keynote followed by a one-hour workshop hit the mark . . . participants had a great opportunity to hear the principles of creative thinking and were then able to put the tools into practice...AUSTAR |
