Creative Problem Solving for Parking…And Life

Sunday, September 18, 3:00 - 4:00 PM

Problem-solving is more than just “brainstorming” or “inspiration.” There is an entire creative process behind it. Understand that process and you can apply it anywhere, anytime.

Discover creative problem-solving techniques to address the various challenges that arise in your work.

In this interactive session, participants will review some of the typical challenges that parking operators face, and explore how to develop their solutions – thoughtfully, systematically, and from every angle:

  • Difficult clients or stakeholders? Find out how to get buy-in and engagement.
  • Unreasonable customer behavior? Learn how to change the emotion and focus on solutions.
  • Challenging work environments? Explore how to take a fresh perspective.

Working in small groups participants will “workshop” problems and get the opportunity to put solutions into practice. Bring a big notebook: you’ll need it.
