Alexandria Chardavoine is an MBA and PMP holding Project manager with New York State. She is also on the board of our upstate chapter of PMI as the VP of strategic initiatives. With experience working on a variety of projects, she sees that creative problem solving is a skill that is very beneficial in any project as well as in one’s life. Alexandria has given knowledge-sharing presentations to various professional audiences including New York state employees, hospital staff, and contractors.

Every single day you are walking in other people’s novel ideas: the chair you sit in, your desk, your computer, etc. Some people think, “oh well I’m just not creative”, but creativity can be more deliberate than one might think. Creative problem solving is a skill, like any other skill you can learn and develop. There are structured processes that when practiced can allow you to go beyond conventional thinking innately. I will demonstrate the application of a framework that participants can start applying today for better solving. Participants will learn and gain tips on how to best promote ‘outside of the box’ creative problem solving individually and within their project groups.
