Description
As AI tools become increasingly embedded in our work, the complexity of decision-making, collaboration, and delivery has grown. Teams are often overwhelmed by the abundance of data, options, and technological possibilities. In these moments, it is tempting to respond with more frameworks and processes. Yet, paradoxically, the most effective way to reduce complexity may be to return to something profoundly human: creativity.
This interactive workshop invites participants to explore creativity as a practical, complexity-reducing skill in a volatile world where change is ever-present. Through collective reflection, hands-on exercises and playful problem-solving, we will practice ways of simplifying tangled challenges, reframing problems, and discovering new solutions. By reconnecting with creativity, we rediscover clarity, energy, and focus—qualities that AI tools can augment and support but not replace.
Participants will leave this workshop with concrete tools, methods and techniques to integrate creative practices into their daily work, along with renewed confidence in their ability to navigate complexity with simplicity and joy. Whether you’re a coach, product owner, or team member, this workshop will help you embrace creativity as a foundation for agility in times of rapid technological change.
