>> Muzus | From complexity to manageable perspectives <<

Some topics can feel distant — something you don’t really know much about, or that others seem to be better at handling. But it’s precisely in those moments that you’re able to come up with creative and original ideas — because you’re looking at the issue from your own unique perspective.
At the start of new and complex challenges, it can be difficult to find the space to look at things differently. Where do you begin? And how do you know whether you’re focusing on the right thing?
In this session, we’ll dive into a real-life case study together. You’ll have the opportunity to explore a challenge and look at it from a new angle. We’ll break down the design question, uncover opportunities for innovation, and learn how to translate complex issues into manageable perspectives.

This session will be held in Dutch.

Key takeaways:

• New perspectives
• Creative brainstorming techniques
• Innovation skills

This session will be held in Dutch.

Key takeaways:

• Creative leadership
• Making space
• Meaning-making
