Creating the Creativity Habit
Breakthrough thinking rarely happens spontaneously and consistently, even for the Edisons and Einsteins of the world.  New ideas come from stimulation, structure, and practice.  In this session, we will examine how your organizational culture supports creativity and innovation, engage the principles of breakthrough thinking, and practice using tools designed to bring ideas to the fore. Marian Thier, coach, trainer, and founder of Expanding Thought, an organization focused on changing organizations through original thinking, will lead this interactive session that is guaranteed to be energetic, engaging, and fun! 

Combating Competition
Marian Thier returns in this session where we will apply the tools introduced in session one to the issue of competition. Whether it’s new publications popping up in your market, category specific magazines competing with your ancillary products, broadcast, or Internet, competition is a shared headache for city and regional magazines. Participants will work in groups to develop breakthrough ideas.
