Unlock Your Best Ideas With AI
Creative thinking is about playing with knowledge—combining existing ideas to create new and valuable solutions. AI allows us to explore fascinating knowledge that goes beyond what we and our team possess
Research clearly shows that AI chatbots often surpass most people in developing those “Why didn’t we think of that before?” ideas. Christian Byrge’s own research has been
groundbreaking in shaping the modern understanding of AI’s potential to support and enrich human creativity.
We are in an era where those who learn to harness AI to support their creative thinking and innovation processes gain access to limitless ideas and extraordinary competitive advantages. Now, anyone can contribute to developing great ideas—even if you don’t see yourself as one of the creative types.
AI-supported innovation is a game changer, setting new standards for how, how well, and how quickly we can solve challenges in daily life and innovative projects.
But how do we extract good ideas and fresh perspectives from the machine?
Book this keynote with Christian Byrge to gain research-based, practical tools and specific prompts that help you use AI for daily creative thinking and more effective innovation processes.

Everyone Can Get Great Ideas
“We all need to be a bit more innovative and make everything smarter, faster, and more enjoyable!”—This is how many experience the encounter with innovation in modern organisations.
Today, innovation is a necessity for survival in most industries. Good ideas have become a gold standard, forming the foundation for unique competitive advantages, more efficient work processes, stronger user relationships, and better services and products.
But can we generate ideas on demand? Can we shift our perspective on problems precisely when needed? Can we plan to be open to new ideas that challenge our team’s current logic? And can we unleash our imagination without fear of ridicule?
Yes! Christian Byrge has helped hundreds of teams with effective and easy-to-use tools to develop more motivating and valuable ideas, gain entirely new perspectives on problems, and explore ideas with a curious and open mind.
Everyone can learn to be more creative, and we can support each other in becoming more idea-rich and curious colleagues in everyday tasks.
Book this keynote to kickstart your creative mindset and teamwork. You will gain a common language for creativity, a deeper understanding of its value, and concrete creative methods you can start using immediately.

Your Creative Genius
Are you searching for your next big breakthrough?
We can solve everyday challenges with creative problem-solving.
We can optimise processes through continuous improvement.
We can create greater value through user-driven innovation.
And we can set entirely new standards with curiosity-driven creativity.
But how do we systematically develop ideas that lead to visionary and groundbreaking breakthroughs? How do we identify and challenge the standards that everyone else takes for granted? How do we discover exciting opportunities in ideas that most people dismiss as impractical? And how do we ensure that intrinsic motivation drives innovative work, helping us persevere through potential resistance?
Christian Byrge was one of the driving forces behind the Creative Genius programs (2013-2020), where participants from over 15 countries and 38 industries developed solutions to complex challenges. These programs produced breakthroughs in fields ranging from conveyor belts, anti-corruption, and football training to vacation home rentals, in-flight entertainment, public hearings, showrooms, furniture design, and recruitment. The work also covered disposable cups, crisis communication, sustainable fashion design, high- conflict divorces, and much more.
Christian is one of the world’s leading experts in thinking far beyond the ideas we typically generate. His research also focuses on how AI can help us overcome the curse of expertise—where logical thinking kills new ideas before their (often hidden) potential is explored.
To succeed with curiosity-driven creativity, we must:
- Challenge problem understanding to open new thinking directions.
- Systematically and consistently develop radically new ideas.
- Maintain an open and curious mindset, especially towards ideas that break industry logic.
- Refine ideas from confusing and fragile to coherent and compelling—because persuasive
idea presentations often determine whether we are seen as fools or creative geniuses.
Book this keynote and get inspired on how to develop and pursue the most original and groundbreaking ideas. And gain insights into how AI’s immense innovative potential can be combined with your industry-specific experience to identify and develop the best ideas for your next big breakthrough.

Team Creativity
All teams need a continuous flow of good ideas to challenge and replace declining ideas. We need strong imagination to continuously explore, evaluate, and select the best ideas that lead to new applications of technologies, new customer relationships, new products and services, and greater value and efficiency in daily work.
How can we make curiosity and imagination fundamental elements of our team culture? How can we create environments that empower us to develop, propose, and implement
new ideas with confidence and competence? And how can we ensure a broad diversity of ideas, leading to stronger decision-making when tackling complex problems?
Christian Byrge is an expert in creating:
- Safe, creative team environments that encourage the exploration of important problems.
- Effective, integrated innovation processes that lead to new and valuable solutions.
- Motivational support and reward structures that encourage testing new ideas.
- Systematic training in innovative skills, creative confidence, and a curiosity-driven culture.
- Inclusive idea systems that ensure the best ideas are identified and implemented.
Do you want to significantly improve your ability to generate new, inspiring ideas and see problems from fresh, surprising perspectives? Do you want a more structured yet playful approach to tackling complex issues?
Book this keynote to unlock and nurture your team’s creative superpowers—and apply them to your everyday tasks and innovative projects.
