This six-hour course will allow participants to think inside-the-box and be more resourceful through the Systematic Inventive Thinking (SIT) methodology as created by Drew Boyd and Dr. Jacob Goldenberg and inspired by how this is taught in one of the best schools in the world, Columbia Business School. By understanding how to break fixedness and work within constraints, students will be able to create new and innovative menu items that can spice up their shop offerings and attract more interested customers through thinking tools designed from innovative patterns that can be found throughout human history.
