Creative thinking is one of the most important skills in future work environments. Whether you are working in a large organisation, creating your own startup, or looking for new opportunities in your life, in this course you will learn how to practice creative thinking to come up with innovative ideas.
Everyone has the capacity to be creative. You don’t have to be in the “creative” sector to use creativity in your work and life. The course provides you with simple tips and techniques to nurture and practice your creative thinking skills. You will hear how the success of Pixar and Nobel Prizes winners is linked to creative thinking and innovation, and how industry experts from Google and IBM use these skills in their work. This course is delivered with the assistance of the team at INCUBATE - The University of Sydney’s Flagship Startup Program. If you’re part of The University of Sydney community, check out their range of free startup courses and programs here: https://incubate.org.au/

Great course. If interested in Innovation topic, I recommend taking the other University of Sydney course "Innovation Through Design: Think, Make, Break, Repeat" which complements this one.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
