Christian Byrge's 2024 talks & topics

Kickstart your creative mindset

  • Develop the skills to come up with new and useful ideas that go beyond the typical ideas that we have heard, seen, or done before
  • Learn to question the traditions and standards in your industry that are often taken for granted.
  • Explore the top five approaches for boosting creative thinking in your everyday job.
  • Learn how AI can be used in your creative and innovative work.

In many organisations, managers and employees are expected to be more innovative and creative in their work. However, many don’t know how to be creative on command or at will. Book this keynote, workshop, or training to learn how to access your creativity whenever you need it.

You will gain a common understanding of the value of creativity. A common language for when – and in connection with which problems – creativity is relevant for you. And you will get a more professional approach to idea development, problem exploration, and evaluation of the original ideas both in your individual work and in your team collaboration.

Become the most visionary

  • Develop a far more visionary mindset to explore new opportunities in novel ideas.
  • Get a better foundation for decision-making when working on complex problems.
  • Learn how to integrate creativity in everyday problem-solving, user-centred problem-solving, and curiosity-driven problem-solving.
  • Gain insight into how AI can be integrated into your visionary exploration of new ideas.

For complicated problems, we need data and analysis. A rigorous analysis of the data will point to the best-known (already existing) solutions. But for complex problems, this is far too weak. For these problems, we rather need great ideas and visionary thinking. A visionary exploration of alternative ideas will point to possible new solutions for unpredictable and uncertain problems. Book this keynote, workshop, or training to learn how to develop your visionary skills.

You will gain a common understanding of why you must step away from the discussion and win/lose conformity-creating evaluations in the exploration of the new ideas. You will discover a more learning-oriented approach to idea exploration. You will also get insights into how AI can be integrated into your visionary exploration of new ideas.

Develop a creative team culture

  • Get the four most important strategies to create an innovative team culture.
  • Learn how to nurture innovative skills, boost creative confidence, and integrate creativity into your daily work processes.
  • Understand how you can create support and reward structures for creative efforts.
  • Discover how idea systems can help you collect, evaluate, and select the best ideas.

All organisations need a continuous flow of new ideas to challenge and replace outdated ideas. We also need a strong imagination to continuously think of new uses of technologies, new relationships with customers, new workflows, and much more to create greater value and efficiency in daily work.

Think of creativity as an important skill set similar to language skills and math skills. We need to practice creative skills to develop innovative habits and get to know ourselves and each other as creative and inspiring colleagues. And we need to find meaningful ways to integrate creativity as a natural part of our everyday way of working. Book this keynote, workshop, or training to learn how to turn your team into an idea machine.

Creative thinking in education

  • Learn to stimulate students to get new perspectives on their problems and to come up with original and motivating ideas for their student work.
  • Develop the skills to define challenges that help students easily unleash their creativity.
  • Explore practical ways to integrate creativity into your topics and subjects.
  • Discover systematic methods for assessing and evaluating students’ creative processes and products.

Creative thinking is often mentioned as one of the most important skills of the future. But how do we nurture curiosity among the students? And what does it actually mean to be creative in everyday life at an educational institution? Book this keynote, workshop, or training to learn how to develop creative skills and creative confidence for the individual students as well as how to stimulate a creative culture across the educational institution.

You will gain a common language for creativity: what it means to be creative, when it makes the most sense to be creative, and how students can be creative individually and together. You will learn to evaluate the creative piece of work, both subjectively and (more) objectively. And you will get an insight into how AI can be integrated into the students’ creative work.
