THINK TANK:

The Game of Creative Problem Solving®

 
 
 
 

What is Think Tank?

When people play a game they tend to participate naturally. That reality establishes a wonderful platform to educate players about problem solving, team dynamics, personal style, and innovative thinking. THINK TANK enables players to learn a method to address a problem in its entirety, as well as dissect its components. Players creatively respond to a series of questions to examine the problem, and have fun in the meanwhile.

Initially participants play THINK TANK using generic game-created problems. They learn idea-generation and evaluation tools, the game's process, and how to collaborate. The experience is debriefed in detail to explore what occurred, why and how to proceed in the future. Next, teams use the learning to work on organization-specific problems.

What Are the Benefits of Think Tank? Players:

  • Learn a methodology and tools for problem solving
  • Engage in innovative thinking
  • Assess how personal style impacts problem solving
  • See how team dynamics operates and influences output
  • Increase skills to work collaboratively with colleagues
