Creative Thinking Techniques

Description

Several well-known methods exist for producing ideas on demand, and these PDF lessons teach them. You begin with the basics of creative thinking and brainstorming techniques that work in practice.

Later lessons cover lateral thinking, the SCAMPER method, morphological analysis, and TRIZ, a systematic approach to innovation. The final lesson applies the methods to daily life. Checklists and exercises in the PDFs let you try each method on a problem of your own. By the end, you should be able to pick a method that suits the kind of problem you face, such as a stuck project or a product idea, and use its steps to produce several options instead of waiting for inspiration. The PDFs are practical and do not assume any design background.

Who it is for: people who want a toolkit of idea-generation methods for work or personal projects.
