Structured Innovation
expanding mental resources of technical professions for practical problem solving
By: GA Tan

Structured Innovation is specifically designed for engineers and technical crews, Heads of Departments, managers and line supervisors, developing excellence in:

• Mental flexibility
  How to expand genetic brain processing skills with the application of Colored Brain Theory

• Tackle problems systematically
  How to solve problems step by step

• Develop creative solutions
  How to mesh left and right brain power for greater ideas generation

• Team resonance
  How to get the quantum leap in team dynamics

Facilitator:

G.A. Tan applies the DC psychology of workplace training to mesh tech teams into finely tuned units that source root causes of system problems, analyzing and solving rapidly – saving your corporation millions in systems downtime.

Holding a Masters in Physics from Dalhousie University , specializing in the field of biomedical engineering, G.A Tan has the talent to transform your technical team.

He is:

• Expert in the application of systematic problem solving methodology and creativity in trouble-shooting technical problems.

• A trained champion for Six-Sigma Black Belts

• A mentor for engineers' problem solving and creative thinking skills

• Skilled in FMEA development for process stability enhancement and management.

He has more than 10 years experience in the semiconductor manufacturing industry as an R&D engineer, then leading the Process Engineering Department. As the department head, he mentored engineers and technicians, contributing significantly to the growth of staffs' problem solving and creative thinking skills

Structured Innovation Training For Technical Excellence
Using Directive Communication™ Psychology for Systematic Problem Solving

Course Description:

The Directive Communication™ (DC) psychology based systematic problem solving methodology is a two day training program designed for R&D, manufacturing, and technological based industries.
Participants will learn the investigative problem solving system called the 8 Step Crime Buster approach for solving process problems in groups.

To maximize group productivity in problem solving, participants will learn the application of DC Color Brain theory that identifies the unique mental processes in individuals. This understanding enhances group interactions and mental flexibility.

One of the foci of this program will be identifying team members’ mental processing methods and how to capitalize on their natural gifts to maximize team member contributions and how this affects group dynamics and reactions.

Participants will learn the application of DC thinking tools that stimulate subconscious and conscious perceptive and lateral thinking approaches to problem solving in the work place.

Key points:

• Group dynamics, mental thinking tools and flexibility.
• 8 Step Crime Buster approach, an investigative based methodology
• Directive Communication thinking tools for creative ideas generation.

Key Benefits

The participants will learn how to:

1. Solve manufacturing process problem step by step.
2. Overcome psychological barriers that hinder effective problem solving.
3. Apply Directive Communication thinking tools to generate creative ideas.
4. Bring out the best in team members through understanding of their individual uniquemental processes.
5. Utilize team natural strengths in maximizing team contribution to problem solving.

Who Should Attend?

Managers, Department Heads, Project Managers, Project Team Members, Senior Engineers, Engineers, Senior Executives, Executives, R&D Engineers.

Note: All participants are expected to have knowledge in 7 QC tools.
