Systematic Inventive Thinking® Workshop
1-day Innovation Workshop
Goals
This one-day program is designed to give participants an introduction with hands –
on experience to some key aspects of the Systematic Inventive Thinking ®
Methodology.
The program will focus on the 3 core topics which enable participants to:
 understand how cognitive "fixedness" poses a challenge to innovative thinking;
 learn how to apply SIT Tools and Principles to reach innovative solutions;
 find out how SIT "on-demand" can be applied in daily work so as to think
differently.

studies, hands-on application of the SIT tools and practical work in small groups.
