An excellent example of pedagogical professionalism combined with very deep knowledge of the matter. Keep doing the same way, combining psychological tricks with perfectly prepared & structured material. Despite the large volume of material presented, it was easy to digest, was clearly understood through exercises on how to apply, and was of high value as very relevant material for everyday tasks. Thank you!

AI creative thinking

The latest research clearly shows that artificial intelligence is far better at coming up with original and meaningful ideas than most ordinary people. It is also better at finding new perspectives on problems and imagining potential user scenarios, as well as considering possible consequences when implementing new ideas.

We are now entering a time where those who learn to use AI to enhance creative thinking will gain access to endless idea possibilities and extraordinary visionary thinking. But how can you actually ‘pull’ these great ideas and inspiring new perspectives out of the machine? Book this keynote, workshop, or training to learn how to master AI for your creative problem-solving and innovative processes.

Key takeaways:

  • Learn effective prompts for using AI as a source of nearly endless idea possibilities, imagination, and entirely new problem understandings.
  • Discover how artificial intelligence can help you avoid the curse of expertise, where logical thinking often limits new ideas too early.
  • Master the art of using AI to transform new ideas from confusing and vulnerable to coherent and convincing.
  • Be inspired to naturally integrate AI into your daily tasks and workflows.
