Late in the module, participants will be introduced to von Oech’s Creative Whack Pack and have an opportunity to do a creative activity.

Requirements

Roger von Oech’s book, A Whack on the Side of the Head, and cards, Creative Whack Pack, at approximately $30.00 per participant, if you choose to provide the book and cards. The number required for the module will vary with the number of participants; so, you will only need one book and at least one pack of cards, depending on the size of the group. Go to www.amazon.com to purchase the materials.

Investment

$5,000.

In other words, if you have 150 participants, it would cost $33 per participant. You can do your own calculations to determine the actual price per participant for your needs: 250 participants = $20 each; 500 participants = $10 each.

This investment includes the Instructor/Facilitator Guide and Participant Guide. It may also include handouts, case studies, job aids, PowerPoints, wallet cards, and scenarios. The documents may be provided in Word and/or PowerPoint so that you may customize them to meet your needs.

Unlike other companies, you do NOT need to take certification classes before you can purchase and use the material. We can help you train your trainers, but that is not a requirement for purchase. Once you purchase the material, it is yours to use as you wish throughout your organization, as many times as needed, by as many trainers as necessary.
