Creative problem solving (CPS) is a methodology developed in the 1940s as the Osborn-Parnes Creative Problem Solving Process. It involves separating divergent and convergent thinking and balancing the two to generate more ideas and evaluate them fairly. CPS can be used to find innovative solutions to challenges and generate new ideas by clarifying objectives, brainstorming possible solutions, further developing and experimenting with the best ideas, and implementing the winning solution. This article from Innovation Training explores CPS and how it can be used to solve innovation challenges.
