Leasing Foundation to host collaborative problem solving workshop

As the problems faced by society grow more complex, interrelated and ill-formed, we have increasingly turned to groups and teams for solutions. In response, collaborative problem solving has been widely recognised as a vital skill in both business and personal lives, and critical to efficiency and effectiveness.

The Leasing Foundation’s Innovation workshop on the ‘Power of Collaborative Problem Solving’ will take place on Tuesday 18 July, 3pm – 6pm at the Mastercard Innovation Hub.

The event will be hosted by Bea Schofield, senior manager, innovation and strategy and Sam Dring, head of asset finance products, both from Lloyds Banking Group. Special guest Stuart Laws, deputy head of innovation at the UK Ministry of Defence, will also provide insight on how the MOD uses collaborative innovation methods, including cross-sector challenges, to support the UK prosperity agenda.

The agenda for the afternoon is as follows:

• 15:00 – 15:30: Registration and Introduction from the Leasing Foundation and Mastercard
• 15:30 – 16:00: Overview of why innovation and collaborative thinking is important (hosted by Bea Schofield)
• 16:00 – 17:00: Breakout activity to testing our approach on industry specific issues
