The Inversion Workshop

Turning Problems Upside Down to Unlock Transformative Solutions

This full-day experiential learning program leverages the innovative Anti-Problem Game to help participants develop creative problem-solving skills in a collaborative and engaging environment. Using reverse-brainstorming techniques, participants will tackle complex challenges by exploring unconventional solutions, shifting perspectives, and breaking free from traditional thinking patterns. This approach is particularly effective for teams seeking fresh insights and innovative strategies to resolve specific workplace challenges.

Through interactive exercises, participants will generate solutions to intentionally “wrong” problems - anti-problems - encouraging adaptability and creativity. By focusing on the opposite of a typical solution, they will discover new ways to approach obstacles, enhance critical thinking, and cultivate a mindset of continuous innovation. Working in teams, they will experience firsthand how reframing a problem can lead to deeper insights and more effective collaboration.

With the guidance of a facilitator, teams will engage in structured debriefs to reflect on their experiences, extract key takeaways, and translate their learnings into real-world applications. By the end of the session, participants will leave with enhanced problem-solving abilities, a renewed sense of creative confidence, and actionable tools for driving innovation and overcoming challenges in their organizations..
