Anticonventional thinking (ACT) is a new approach to collaborative creativity that is based on how artists, writers, composers and other creative geniuses work on projects individually and in teams. If you've been disappointed with the results of brainstorming (lots of mediocre ideas, little implementation of ideas), you'll love ACT − because it works.
In this workshop, you'll learn how to use ACT like a pro!

Recommendation
We recommend participants bring to the workshop issues for which they need innovative ideas. We can then apply ACT to these issues so that participants do not only learn the ACT method, but leave the workshop with relevant, developed ideas they can implement.

You can purchase copies of Jeffrey Baumgartner's Book, Anticonventional Thinking – the Creative Alternative to Brainstorming to give to participants after the workshop.
