The Idea Factory Experience
Developed with the aid of several expert partners in the
field of innovation, The Idea Factory delivers on every
sensory level. In this innovation program, a group of anthropology
students stumbles upon the remains of the once great Idea
Factory. Once they open the dusty trunk, something magical
happens. As they gradually piece together the timeline of
the company from old memorandums, newspaper clippings and
press releases, participants discover what made The Idea
Factory the bastion of creativity it once was, and what
sparked its eventual downfall. In the afternoon, scores
of colorful, interactive objects and documents make up the
comprehensive and engaging Learning Stations that get everyone
physically, mentally and emotionally involved in the process
of innovation. Participants learn how to recognize and nurture
valuable ideas as they strengthen their ability to make
sound judgments both as individuals and teams. While the
eclectic facilitators act as professors in a journey towards
higher innovation, the participants get to experience the
power of thinking outside the box and apply different problem-solving
styles and idea-creation tools to their work. All the teams
then get to apply the innovation processes they gained from
the workshop and Learning Stations in a group exercise where
they have to pitch an idea for a new, breakthrough toy to
a very prominent toy company. This is where in true experience
it fashion, everyone gets to see their ideas come to life!
This wonderful program teaches participants the benefits,
practices and processes of innovation as they learn how
to put them into play in their respective fields. It teaches
them how to better manage diversity and harness the skills,
experience and power of their workforce and how to create
fertile grounds for innovating products, services and customer
relations tools. Experience why this team-building innovation
program has been hailed as better than any other training
program previously attended by 100% of participants.
