This topic is about using various creative techniques to improve your ability to solve problems.

What is this topic about?

This topic outlines why creativity is sometimes required to improve outcomes when facing problems. We then review six creativity techniques: Random input, Reversal, Thinking Hats, Mind Maps, Root-Cause and Subconscious Processing.

Why is this topic important?

This topic is important because many successful people think from a very rational, positive viewpoint. This is part of the reason that they are successful. Often, though, they may fail to look at problems from emotional, intuitive, creative or negative viewpoints. This can mean that they underestimate resistance to change, don't make creative leaps and fail to make essential contingency plans. Creative problem-solving is about escaping the standard patterns that control thinking so that you can discover options that you previously could not see.

Who is this topic for?

This topic is suitable for all employees.
