Facilitating Creative Action / Imagery and Metaphor

Synopsis: Two support videos for course B822.
1: Follows two experience professional facilitators as they lead a weekend workshop in creative problem solving. In two parts: 1) follows the facilitated sessions and illustrates various problem-solving techniques used in the session; 2) shows the group tackling problem for themselves, without the professional facilitators. Shows techniques including the knot game, mind-mapping and the jellybean game.
2 (producer Claire Sandry): Two demonstrations of metaphor being used as a communication tool in a management context. In two parts: 1) based in a high-tech knowledge-based company, shows the use of metaphor as a communication tool both internally and between staff and customer. The use of metaphor is mediated through ‘clean language’; 2) focuses on imagery manipulation, in which the problem is resolved entirely at the level of metaphor without recourse to the actual problem. The helper never knows the true problem, the problem-owner may not understand the solution until long after the session, and its validity is based on an intuitive sense of rightness.
