More than half of the world's 500 Leader companies use Edward de Bono's methods. We invite you to put these tools to the test to join the world's leading peloton.

Depuis plus de 10 ans, de manière récurrente, les enquêtes annuelles faites auprès des chefs d’entreprises révèlent que 60% sont convaincus que la clé de la réussite ou de la croissance de leurs activités est la créativité.  De même, 61% de ces dirigeants opinent que la créativité fait partie des 4 traits les plus critiques au succès des employés.  Or, la créativité ne vient pas naturellement chez la plupart des gens quel que soit le niveau de formation académique car, selon le Dr Edward de Bono, laissé à lui-même, le cerveau se rabat invariablement sur ses vieilles méthodes et idées.

Indeed, creativity is not an innate talent that one has from birth. It's a learnable skill. This is the point of our offering, because, with practice, Bono’s tools demonstrate that any individual can become a verbose creative thinker.

On the other hand, astute observers have said that skill, technology and information can be bought; and, are therefore within the reach of all companies, institutions or States really wishing to obtain them. However, as important as they are, neither skill, technology nor information alone ensures competitiveness, much less customer buy-in, and even less success. In contrast: Edward de Bono says, "The quality of ideas will determine the quality of the future you have." "

In an increasingly competitive world, innovation and creativity are becoming an asset and a powerful weapon to generate ideas, products and processes and results capable of satisfying the greatest number of customers, consumers, d voters, and citizens.

Our offer provides you with the tools and methods to put a quality future within your reach!

Four programs are offered in West Africa:

Three (3) are aimed at leaders, managers, and adults wishing to excel in creativity. These are The Lateral Thinking, The Six Hats of Reflection, and The Creativity Course.
One program, CoRT, is aimed at children aged 8 to 18.

Author of CORT Education: The programs are used by thousands of schools in Canada, United States, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Hong Kong. In Singapore, a school for gifted students as well as 102 secondary schools use the Reflection Curriculum. Some countries, such as Venezuela, have made its curriculum compulsory in all schools.

RELEVANCE FOR AFRICA - Many African companies have testified to the economic benefits derived by users of its tools. Among them are the company The Manganese Metal which has won back its market share by reflecting with the Six Hats; and, KAREE, a mine in South Africa, which has taught its workers the Six Hats of Thinking to increase productivity. Prior to training on average, 210 fights broke out between miners per month. After the adoption of the Six Hats of Reflection as a method of exchange between employees, the number of brawls between miners fell to 4 per month, producing both a phenomenal gain in productivity and a growth in cohesion and quality. team spirit between workers.
