Assignment
Delivery length 300-400 words
Your supervisor holds a meeting one afternoon to acknowledge that the current company you work for, Construction Consultants, Inc. (CCI), needs to consider some new ideas for extending some of the current services it offers. The core business manages short and long-term projects for small and large companies. Business is a bit sluggish as many companies have cut back on various projects due to a slowdown in the housing market. One specialty of CCI is following the project from idea blueprints to the final building structure, hiring the various contractors needed in the development of a residential home or commercial business building.
The group has come together to spend a day off-site from the company’s premises to discuss some new ideas for building the business. As lead project manager, you prepare some ideas on how to bring the group together to creatively brainstorm some new service offerings.
About a week before the meeting, you set-up a lunch with a trusted colleague to discuss some group brain writing ideas. Jot down some notes to discuss with your colleague as follows:
The main objective of the group creative decision-making session.
One creative approach to generating new ideas and why this fits your business challenge.
One creative rule you will insist upon when the group meets, and why this rule must be followed.
