Edward de Bono's Big Think Week

Teaching constructive thinking in Education and Management

Dr Edward de Bono’s thinking skills for business and education success. Five workshops for business, political and education leaders to increase individual and group performance.

What is the Big Think Week?

The Big Think Week is a unique series of creative thinking training and seminars for CEOs, MDs, financial directors, marketing directors, head teachers and human resources professionals.

How does the Big Think Week help you and your organisation?

Government, educators and businesses – both large and small – are united by one common aim: how to make their people more creative.

Big Think Week seeks to take this challenge head on by leveraging the expertise of Dr. Edward de Bono, the leading authority on creative thinking and the direct teaching of thinking skills. A week of training and seminars held in Manchester, Big Think Week is designed to help leaders from business, government, healthcare and education to radically change their thinking and help their people become more creative.

What will happen at the Edward de Bono Big Think Week?

The event starts on Monday 16th April with Serious Creativity for Business Success - an introduction to Dr. Edward de Bono’s ground-breaking Six Thinking Hats methodology, along with sessions on Lateral Thinking and Simplicity. On Tuesday 17th April, de Bono will be making a rare visit to the UK and will be explaining how we can shift from our traditional approach of thinking about everything at once to parallel exploration of a subject. Other session during the week are devoted to Lateral Thinking on 18th April, Direct Attention Thinking Tools (DATT) on 19th April and Thinking Skills for schools on the 20th April.

Whether you’re from a manufacturing or retail background, from service industry or from the educational sector, government, finance, or insurance, you can learn to profit from creative thinking techniques and cannot afford to miss the opportunity of attending a workshop during the Big Think Week.
