Innovative Business Problem-Solving (IBPS)
Innovative Business Problem-Solving for Strategic BPs & BRMs is the signature course in our series for those who wish to create greater value and strategic impact on the fast-evolving challenges of the organization. In this course, we will explore a “facilitator” model of impact that helps these “bridge-builders” move beyond the tensions of tactical responsiveness to become drivers of value, change, and transformation for the organization, for the business unit leaders with whom they partner, and for the Centers of Excellence (COEs) they represent whether HR, IT/Digital Transformation, Innovation, Lean, Corp Strategy, Finance, or others. 
Through this first training workshop, you will:
- Develop the art of innovative problem-solving and creative collaboration to address both the known and yet-to-be-understood challenges of the business.
- Explore disruptions that arise regularly between Business Units and Centers of Excellence and how to reduce them.
- Gain tips, tools, and techniques for bringing together stakeholders, discovering their objectives, and facilitating the creation of breakthrough solutions that have shared ownership.
- Practice with your real challenges, share experiences, and build solutions with a small group of professional peers.
- Receive a Certificate of Completion and BRM Institute* professional development credits.
For participants who have completed BRM Professional (BRMP) training, this highly interactive program provides specific tools and hands-on experiments that help you bring several BRMP concepts into ACTION.

Testimonials
Human Resources/People Development
“I cannot recommend highly enough the Synectics Innovative Business Problem Solving course. I have worked with the Synectics organization for many years both as someone who has been trained to deliver the program and also someone who purchases and rolls out Synectics programming for an organization. The quality of the material and the passion with which the facilitators convey the material results in a first class experience every time. Joe Gammal is a master at what he does, truly a creative genius, and his spirit encourages even the most reticent participants to engage in creative problem solving. This new program, designed specifically for HR business partners (and similar Business Relationship Management roles) is an excellent offering for any HR professional looking to expand their ability to think out of the box and support business leaders in solving problems collaboratively. The virtual environment for the program worked seamlessly, and I felt entirely engaged throughout. I highly recommend it!”
