  Description

  We are starting 2020 with a bang. We wanted to prep you to hit the ground running and give you the tools and knowledge to help your team and organization jump ahead this year. In part 1 of our session we’ll look at current trends and practical ways to apply them and in part 2 we’ll explore and play with prototyping learning experiences using Marvel app and diving deeper with Adobe XD.

  Part One - Trends in Learning Today : Where Should I Focus and What Should I Apply

  Join us for this in-depth look at what tools, design, and technologies we should be focused on in learning today and what's just around the corner. We'll dissect what technology will be enhancing learning and what we need to get excited about and start planning how to integrate into our solutions. What can we learn from the buzz and new tools appearing in the consumer and corporate environments, and how can we take advantage of them to help our users learn. This fun session will give you dozens of ideas and reboot your brain for fresh perspectives on how to enhance your learning today.

  Part Two - Getting Started with Prototyping: Turning Ideas into Reality

  Whether you are creating a new project, developing an app, or simply launching a new responsive course, prototyping can help you better understand what’s working and what needs to be changed. In this session, you will explore the latest strategies in prototyping. You will learn about specific tools, techniques, and workflows that will help you kick off any project the right way. You will discuss how to communicate a concept, beginning with low-fidelity prototypes, gather user feedback, and translate this into high-fidelity prototypes before you start development. You will leave this session with tools to turn your concepts into reality!

  Join L&D Philly and Creative Corporate Training for a morning of FUN!!! Creative Corporate Training employs an innovative, scenario-based approach to team-building, customer service and workplace culture enhancement. We use structured improvisations we design specifically for each client, which embody issues or themes the client wants their team to examine. Unlike other improv-based training programs, we do not make you role play! We do the acting, and you do the problem solving.

  Description:

  Creativity is the #1 needed skill for organizations in 2020!

  Reconnect your hands and your brain and learn to think creatively in this engaging and dynamic interactive workshop.

  Are you tired of ineffective meetings where only a few staff participate? Does your organization have a large project that needs all team members to contribute to? Do you work with teams that need to collaborate and innovate more successfully to help drive business growth?

  Imagine unlocking creative new ideas and the productivity increase you’ll experience when you get everyone around the table actively contributing to the conversation in your organization.

  Come join us, lean forward and experience the power of LEGO® Serious Play®.

  LEGO Serious Play is a facilitated thinking, communicating and problem-solving technique for use in businesses, organizations and teams. The LSP method taps into our natural human ability and desire to play; to imagine, to describe and to make sense of a situation at hand, to initiate change and improvement, and even to create something radically new.

  This session is perfect for leaders, managers, facilitators, consultants and practitioners who work with teams where deeper communication, connection and creative skills are needed.

  In this Create:Connect workshop participants will learn to reconnect the pathways from their brain to their hands to communicate better and go deeper to solve problems. Through the workshop process participants will experience and gain confidence in thinking with their hands and listening with their eyes, and will gain new skills and insights that can be used every day at work.

  What to Bring:

  Your imagination and your curiosity! We will supply you with a specially designed Explorer LEGO kit.

  This workshop is designed as an introduction to the LEGO Serious Play method and materials and is not a facilitation certification class in LSP
