Do you like being at the work meeting and coming up with a creative solution to the problem at hand that no one else has come up with? In this course, veteran CFO and course presenter, Stephen Priddle, CPA, CA, CMA, will teach creative thinking approaches to get you outside the box to solve all kinds of problems. Most people are largely inside-the-box thinkers, which limits their ability to find solutions that are different and counter-intuitive.
- Some of the examples are designed to stay with you for the rest of your life!
- You will also get a crazy, fun party game idea, which is an outside-the-box thinking test…
This course is for all accountants, as well as non-accountants who want to think more creatively to solve problems of all kinds.
