Britvic - Creative Problem Solving process, London 
Eamonn Dunlea, Continuous Improvement Manager for the Southern region CI manager (southern region) organised the two day CPS workshop for Continuous Improvement Coordinators.
He choose a format with three main objectives:
- Practice Techniques on real issues using the four step CPS process (80%)
- Improve Mental Fitness - challenge thinking, make more connection and to break patterns (10%)
- Explore the organizational Climate for Creativity and Innovation (10%)
We creatively adapted to conditions, by holding the workshop in a make shift training area at the bottling plant in Beckton, London.
Kicking off with a physical, positioning warmup based on thinking preference, everyone confessed to their own secret recipe for creativity.
The relaxed atmosphere and energy created within the groups helped them move smoothly around the Creative Problem Solving process.
Participants laughed their way through the Mexican BrainWave technique and then surprised themselves discovering that they could take the wildest ideas and convert them into something practical.
Everyone realised that a picture paints a thousand words and a deep understanding, from the collages they created of the climate for innovation on day two. In the final session everyone was frantically planning a mini workshop that they were going to
facilitate using everyone else as participants. The combination of technques that they put together demonstrated their innate creativity.
 The feedback from the guys on the Creative Problem Solving workshop was excellent. The program as delivered was the perfect blend of interesting theory and good practical fun. The Continuous Improvement Coordinators all plan to include the CPS toolkit into their plant improvement programs | Eamonn Dunlea, CI Manager, Britvic |
