Courses and training, as well as advising on various techniques related to creativity.

I have a business idea. I know it's not a recipe for a Fastlane business, but it's a bit of a new path and something that's been on my mind for many years, and I'm going to try to realize it now.

Originally, I come from Poland and I recently moved back, at least partially, to Poland. I intend to start something conduct training under my own, already established business. The training company is called Creatools. The goal is to conduct training on various creativity techniques. This is an area that I've been privately interested in for many years. I found a lot of tools and various kinds of training or courses, mostly in English, and this is even a branch of knowledge taught at universities.

For many years, I've been collecting training materials, courses, and books on this topic, and I would like to translate these techniques into my own training materials. Initially, I would like to offer these in the form of consultations in companies and enterprises, and maybe even turn some of them into online tools or courses. Hence the name of my company, Creatools.
I've already created it and gathered the materials, but I haven't done anything with them yet.
What do you think about something like this as a start?

Sounds interesting, what subjects will you teach?

I would like to develop my own course, essentially based on the materials I have already identified, which cover various aspects of creativity. This is a very broad field, but I primarily want to focus on a process known as the Creative Process, which involves many steps and tools in each of them, such as Clarifying the Challenge, Classic Brainstorming and Brainwriting, Tools to Enhance Brainstorming for Borrowing and Modifying Ideas, and ways to draw inspiration from different solutions, Developing Ideas, Prototypes, Evaluating and Creating Solutions.

Another area of knowledge, which is a different process or approach to the entire process of finding creative solutions, is a tool called TRIZ. It is an acronym from Russian, as it was developed for engineers.

I have collected a lot of books, lectures and materials, for example from the Oxford creativity department and the Buffalo State Creative Studies department. Based on my research, this is an extremely niche field of knowledge in Poland, at least for the general public or the average entrepreneur. Additionally, I have been interested in it for years and I really like teaching. Based on this, I would like to develop my own training and consultations, and maybe a course in the future.
