USI Extended Services will offer two Simplex workshops in August at Innovation Pointe in downtown Evansville. Workshop participants will learn the Simplex creative problem solving methodology that utilizes creative and analytical thinking in an atmosphere of collaboration, learning, and possibilities.

Level I Simplex: Solving Complex Problems
August 10-11

Learn how to build individual and team participation skills with the creative problem solving process. Outcomes of the workshop will include proficiency in applying creative thinking skills of diverging, converging, and deferral of judgment, understanding and skill in executing the innovation process, awareness and understanding of different problem solving styles via the Basadur CPS profile, and how these styles impact teamwork, understanding of the meeting roles, and how to continuously improve meetings.

LEVEL II - Simplex: Leading Others to Solving Complex Problems
August 12-13

The focus of this workshop will be on building an understanding of the facilitator as process leader by building proficiency and flexibility in leading the process, providing hands-on practice facilitating actual problems solving teams, traditional meetings, and one-on-one conversations. Participants will gain an understanding of effective team structures, models of team development, and how to facilitate and support ongoing teams. Level I Simplex: Solving Complex Problems is a prerequisite for this workshop.

Workshops will meet from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will be facilitated by Gene Recker, manager of education and entrepreneurship for USI at Innovation Pointe.

Registration is $795 per level and includes workbooks and refreshments. A $100 discount will be given to companies enrolling three or more individuals.
