Presentation Title: Addition by Subtraction: Enhancing Creativity and Efficiency through Simplification

 

Presentation Description:
"Effective project teams engage in self-reflection to enhance their performance. However, our natural inclination as humans is to believe that introducing new methods is more beneficial than eliminating or streamlining existing ones. This mindset can lead us to overlook the significant benefits of subtraction and simplifying processes.
Discover the power of 'addition by subtraction' in this session, where we explore research such as Stephanie Creston's study on acquisitiveness and other studies that explore the challenges of our bias against subtraction. Engage in exercises and experience stories to see the impact of subtraction in areas like design and innovation. Gain and exchange practical ideas with the audience on how to help your teams include subtraction in their thinking."


Learning Outcomes:

  • Explore the impact of subtraction on innovation and progress

  • Gain insights into incorporating simplification strategies in team processes

  • Discover practical tools and techniques for enhancing creativity and efficiency

  • Learn from real-life examples how subtraction can drive design and innovation
