Meetings that go round in circles. Workshops that lead nowhere. Change processes that get stuck. Not because people don’t want to — but because the method is lacking.
Creativity is not a talent. It is a skill — and facilitation is a profession. A profession that you can learn, refine, and certify.
At O₂C², we bring structure to what often remains ad hoc: the way you guide groups to real results. Our open courses are designed for managers, team leaders, coaches, facilitators, HR professionals, and change managers who want more than tools—who want a methodology that works.
Small groups. Deep learning. Lasting impact.

Introduction Creative Leadership
Creativity cannot be managed. You create the environment in which it can flourish.
Most managers know that innovation is important. But there is a big gap between that conviction and a team that works in a structurally creative and solution-oriented way. What fills that gap? Leadership behavior.
Research clearly shows that transformational leadership leads to 40% higher employee engagement (see leadership support) than traditional leadership styles. Not because those leaders are more creative, but because they consciously work to create an environment in which their people think, experiment, and make decisions.
In this introduction, you will learn about the principles of creative leadership—based on the CPS methodology and 70 years of international research. You will discover how you, as a manager, team leader, or change agent, can create psychological safety for experimentation, encourage open dialogue, and develop a leadership style that promotes innovation and creativity. (see leadership support)

Problemsolving
VIEW Practitioner Certification
Not every team problem is a communication problem. Sometimes people just think differently.
A team member who always opposes new proposals. A colleague who endlessly delays decisions. Someone who immediately calls for solutions while others are still trying to understand the problem. A manager who insists on data and logic, while the rest of the team mainly wants to know what the impact is on people.
Frustrating. Time-consuming. And often completely unnecessary.
Because what’s at play is rarely unwillingness or incompetence. These are style differences — deep-rooted, consistent preferences in how people approach problems, process information, and make decisions. They are stable, universally present — and if you don’t understand them, they are a permanent source of friction and inefficiency.
VIEW: An Assessment of Problem Solving Style makes those invisible differences visible. The tool maps three dimensions: how someone deals with change and structure, how someone processes information, and from what starting point someone makes decisions. Together, these three axes provide a clear picture of the style mix in a team — and of why collaboration is difficult, even among people who mean well.
As a certified VIEW Practitioner, you will learn to read and discuss these style differences and transform them from a source of conflict into a source of complementarity. VIEW is the result of more than twenty years of systematic research, widely validated (see VIEW) and applied internationally — by coaches, HR professionals, team coaches, and change management experts who want to understand why people do what they do.

Facilitation
Certification CPS 6.1™ Facilitator
You facilitate groups. But what do you do when the process gets stuck?
You know the moment. The energy drops. People repeat themselves. One or two voices dominate. The group generates all kinds of ideas, but cannot reach a decision. Or worse: a decision is made, but no one feels ownership of it.
At that point, it doesn’t matter how well you listen or how strong your presence is. What you need is a methodology that tells you what needs to be done now — and why.
That’s what CPS 6.1™ gives you. Creative Problem Solving is a proven framework that guides groups from understanding a challenge to planning concrete action o2c2 — with a clear structure that makes it obvious at any moment whether a group needs to explore or converge. Not intuitive improvisation, but conscious navigation.
The results are documented: organizations that work with CPS see the success rate from idea to implementation increase from 8% to 22%, and a halving of the time teams need to get from problem to solution.
Becoming certified in CPS 6.1™ means you are no longer dependent on the dynamics in the room. You bring the structure with you. That makes the difference — for your participants, for your clients, and for the credibility of your practice.
