Creative Problem-Solving Techniques

Description

Seven PDF lessons explain how to approach a problem with more than one idea in mind. You start with the basics of creative problem-solving, then learn to tell problems from opportunities and to describe what actually needs solving.

Later lessons cover brainstorming techniques, developing several solution approaches, and comparing them to choose the best one. The final two lessons deal with putting a chosen solution into practice and collecting the methods you use most into a personal toolkit. Practice exercises appear in most of the PDFs. The methods are meant for both professional and personal situations, and each lesson builds on the previous one.

Who it is for: anyone at work or at home who wants a set of methods for handling problems that routine approaches have not solved.
