“Client Specific Zing© Creativity Workshop” is a highly productive meeting facilitation using dynamics focused on a client’s key business or social issues, with participants using Zing© wireless keyboards and big screen display on which all ideas can be seen. Prior to the session, the specially trained and accredited Zing© Facilitator develops a series of highly impactful questions in the optimum sequence, with the client, designed to stretch the imagination limits of participants. . Responses gathered electronically are in real time – no annoying paper trail, nor needed transcribing after the meeting.

Adding another dimension to the fundamentals of thinking in a different way,“Client Specific Zing© Creativity Workshop” led by a qualified “Solving The Impossible” facilitator, will get everyone involved in an exceptional enjoyable experience, with the sessions full of fun, and enhanced interactivity, generally at a rate five times faster than traditional meetings. Ideas are built on as the process proceeds, generating even higher quality output. Traditional negative “meeting productivity bandits”, such as the “know-it-all”, the “managerial authoritarian”, and the “shy and silent type”, find themselves base-lined with all others, as the input is anonymous, yet all data is listened to, and considered by everybody. A big advantage is that people, despite their differences, become committed and more readily take action on the agreed outcome.

Everyone in the room will know what other people are thinking, yet remain anonymous, and quickly build on each other’s ideas in a safe and comfortable environment.
