This Second Edition takes the learnings, practice and research done following the release of the original Creative Approaches to Problem Solving and creates an even easier to use Text book that anyone from novice to expert can use with confidence. The Creative Problem Solving Process (CPS) is taken to a new level in this book as the foundations for CPS 6.1 are described and examples of applications in business and education are provided. This book was named the 'Best Book on Creativity' by the European Association of Creativity and Innovation (EACI) in 2000.
I found my way to this book via the BCS Business Analysis textbook’s presentation of the mess/data/problem/idea/solution/acceptance model, and I had to know more. I’m struggling with 4 Stars as a score, BUT it’s a composite of some really strong material that really made me think and was very creative (so 5 stars), AND some writing style that made me just fizzle out … (so 2 Stars!!). However I do return to the materials. I will probably read this again eventually.
