APPLIED INNOVATION

Creative problem solving

Two Days

The Challenge

Organizations today struggle with increasingly complex problems that resist traditional linear thinking. Teams often find themselves trapped in conventional approaches, defaulting to familiar solutions that yield diminishing returns. The cost? Missed opportunities, stagnant growth, and competitive disadvantage. Meanwhile, breakthrough innovations emerge from those who've mastered the art of thinking differently, combining structured methodology with creative exploration.

Our Solution

This intensive two-day workshop transforms how your team approaches problem-solving. We blend proven innovation frameworks with hands-on creative techniques, moving you from problem identification through ideation to actionable prototypes. You'll learn systematic methods for reframing challenges, generating breakthrough ideas, and rapidly testing solutions.

URBAN SKETCHING

Urban Sketching Workshop

Two Hour Evenings & Full Day Plein Air Sketching in London

The Challenge We Face

In our screen-saturated lives, we've lost the art of truly seeing our surroundings. We rush through city streets, eyes down, capturing moments only through phone cameras—never pausing to observe texture, light, or architectural detail. Many of us feel the creative urge to draw but convince ourselves we lack talent or time. The result? A disconnect from our environment and untapped creative potential gathering dust.

Our Solution

Lead by designer, illustrator and author, Charles Leon, this evening urban sketching workshop reconnects you with the city and your creativity. No experience necessary—just curiosity and willingness to try. We'll venture into inspiring urban locations as the golden hour light transforms ordinary streets into sketching gold.

You'll learn:

·         Simple techniques for capturing buildings, streets, and atmosphere quickly

·         How to see like an artist—observing proportion, light, and shadow

  • Basic Perspective and composition

·         Loose, expressive approaches that prioritize feeling over perfection

·         Practical tips for sketching in public confidently

Through guided exercises and supportive group energy, you'll create your own visual diary of the evening. Leave with finished sketches, newfound skills, and a fresh perspective of familiar buildings. Rediscover the joy of slow observation and creative expression—one sketch at a time.
