This is a three hour online workshop. The primary benefit is focused work on solving a problem confronting you right now. Small business people and entrepreneurs often have to work alone to solve problems. "Solopreneurs" benefit from focused facilitation, and, a community of non-competitive peers.

The Sprint will help you get to the next level.

While we can't guarantee every person a breakthrough, we will work hard to help you get one. Everyone learns more about what they should do to solve their problem. You will make progress on what's stopping you. You may also learn the MCPS process for future use.

• Focus your efforts on solving your most pressing business challenge
• You'll get off the dime on something that's stopping you
• You'll confront and work on what's blocking you
• Be facilitated through a process, MCPS, that is designed to help people find breakthrough ideas -- it works
• You'll use your Imagination and Critical Analysis capability
• Be surprised with unusual tools and thinking stimulus techniques
• Work indirectly with a community of other entrepreneurs
• Walk away with an Action Plan
• Learn MCPS by using it

What Is Momentum CPS?

Momentum Creative Problem Solving (MCPS) is a three phase, six step process for solving complex problems. It's a structure, a model, a process, and, it's non-confining. In fact, it's a launch pad for improvisational and imaginative problem solving.

If you have a thorny, scary problem, or a huge but complicated opportunity, MCPS is perfect for understanding, working through, creating, inventing, polishing ideas, and getting into action. It is highly useful and appropriate for individuals or teams.

Proven by Large Organizations and Creative Entrepreneurs for Many Years

MCPS , elements of it, are used by many large organizations including P&G, Leo Burnett, BBDO, Frito Lay, and many others. It's been used by entrepreneurs, artists, and educators around the globe to improve and innovate. MCPS is an updated model (formerly known as Osborn-Parnes CPS) with a new emphasis on improvisation within the structured process.

Many professional facilitators (and coaches) use CPS as an essential framework. Facilitators continue to add new tools and techniques further amplifying CPS flexibility and effectiveness.

It's Brainstorming Done Well, And More

MCPS is far more than "brainstorming." In fact, it's the process steps that come before and after idea generation that make it complete creativity and innovation system.

Newbies often get surprisingly good results. As people use it and become more familiar with the process, results get even better.

Gregg Fraley is a master trainer and facilitator in creativity and innovation. He's the author of "Jack's Notebook, a business novel about creative problem solving," which teaches MCPS in story form. Gregg teaches Momentum CPS to companies like Georgia Pacific, Coca-Cola, and W.R. Grace. He's started six businesses, he's been in your shoes.

Unlike many creativity and innovation facilitators and trainers, Gregg is a proven entrepreneur in technology. He's also a thought leader who has taken the original Osborn-Parnes model and improved it by adding more tools and methods to make the original model more complete and flexible.
