Teach leaders that creativity is a discipline, not a gift — and send them back with a prototype ready to test.
Innovation & Creativity Boost is a practical 2-day programme on the CREATE framework: from 'How Might We…' reframing and structured divergent thinking to assumption mapping, minimum viable prototypes and building a team culture that innovates. Designed by Bodhih Training, ready for you to deliver.
- Six CREATE capabilities — Cultivate, Reframe, Explore, Assess, Test, Embed — across two days
- Every participant works on a real, current challenge from the first hour to the last
- Practical tools: 'How Might We…', assumption reversal, the Impact–Effort matrix, the Innovation Dial and assumption mapping
- Built on Teresa Amabile's research: creativity depends on conditions, and leaders shape those conditions
Innovation & Creativity Boost Trainer Toolkit by Bodhih Training — built on programmes delivered to 2,000+ companies since 2008.
The workshop is on the calendar. The material isn’t.
Brainstorming is not a programme
Most creativity workshops stop at sticky notes. Participants generate ideas, enjoy the energy, and then nothing is selected, tested or implemented. You need the whole cycle, not just the fun part.
'I'm just not a creative person'
Half the room arrives believing creativity is a fixed talent. Shifting that belief takes carefully designed evidence and experiences, not a motivational slide.
Ideas without a business case
Sponsors fund innovation training when it leads somewhere. Without selection tools, cheap tests and a leader-level culture plan, the workshop reads as a nice day out.
Picture the evening before your programme.
Imagine opening Day 1 with the question most leaders have never been asked: what conditions make your team more — or less — creative? Cultivate draws on the neuroscience of creativity and Amabile's research, and by the first break someone is already rethinking how their weekly meeting kills ideas before they are spoken.
Then comes Reframe. Participants take the real challenge they brought with them and rewrite it using 'How Might We…' and assumption reversal. The Facilitator Guide includes a case where a reframing session revealed that an £18,000 communication fix addressed the customer problem a £400K project was meant to solve. By the end of Explore, each person holds a portfolio of 20 or more ideas.
Day 2 is where ideas meet reality. They Assess and select using the Impact–Effort matrix and the Innovation Dial, map the riskiest assumptions, and design a minimum viable prototype test they can run within the month. The day closes with Embed — the specific leader behaviours that build psychological safety and constructive challenge — and a 30-day team plan.
Somewhere in the second afternoon, you'll notice the people who called themselves 'not creative' have simply stopped saying it.

Walk in with data. Walk out with proof.
Trainers who measure before and after design sharper sessions — and get rebooked. AssessAll, our sister assessment platform, has assessments that sit naturally alongside this programme.
Walk in knowing where every participant starts.
Pair Innovation & Creativity Boost with an AssessAll assessment. Participants take it before the workshop, so you can tune the emphasis to the room; they retake it afterwards, so you can show the client what actually moved. Better-targeted sessions, and evidence that wins the next booking.

The rest of the Bodhih family, when you need it
Make the workshop last beyond the room
A workshop is two days; the behaviour change takes months. Jobulary turns assessment evidence into a focused individual development plan (IDP) — a few quarterly objectives built on real work, re-measured honestly. Give every Innovation & Creativity Boost participant a plan to carry forward.
IDPs are launching soon — the working demo is free to explore now, no sign-up.

What is the CREATE framework for innovation?
CREATE is the six-part structure of this programme: Cultivate a creative mindset, Reframe problems, Explore ideas, Assess and select, Test and learn, and Embed innovation culture. It takes a leader from understanding creative conditions to testing a real idea and building a team that keeps innovating.
Can creativity actually be taught to leaders?
The programme is built on Teresa Amabile's research at Harvard Business School, which shows creativity at work depends heavily on conditions — and the direct leader shapes those conditions. Participants learn techniques and leader behaviours, not a talent.
Do I need a design thinking background to deliver this?
No. The Facilitator Guide explains each technique, gives worked examples and sets out the debriefs, so a confident facilitator can prepare from it.
What exactly do I get in the Innovation & Creativity Boost trainer toolkit?
14 editable files: Training Design Document, Facilitator Guide, Slide Deck — Simple Backup, Slide Deck — Main, Virtual Delivery Guide, Participant Workbook, Pre-Work Material, Case Studies, Role-Play Scenario Pack, Quick Reference Cards, Assessment Instruments, Participant Feedback Form, Certificate Template, Marketing Toolkit. Word and PowerPoint formats, so you can add your own branding and examples — and a single ZIP to download everything at once.
How much does the Innovation & Creativity Boost toolkit cost?
₹2,999 including 18% GST for buyers in India, or $29 for buyers outside India. One-time payment, no subscription, with an automatic invoice.
How and when do I receive the files?
Immediately. Your download page opens the moment payment succeeds, and a permanent download link is emailed to you. The link works from any device without a password.
Can I deliver this programme to my clients and put my own logo on it?
Licensed to the buyer to deliver this programme to their own participants and clients, in person or online, and to adapt and brand the material. Reselling or redistributing the files is not permitted.
How can I measure what participants learn in Innovation & Creativity Boost?
The toolkit includes its own assessment instruments and feedback form. For a scored pre- and post-workshop measure, pair it with an assessment from AssessAll, Bodhih's sister assessment platform — for example Innovation & Creative Problem Solving or Critical Thinking & Problem Solving. If nothing fits, you can build your own assessment on AssessAll or ask the AssessAll team to create one for you.
