If you are new to CPSI, Foundations of Creative Problem Solving is your fast track to a deliberate creativity process for solving problems and capitalizing on opportunities. You’ll learn the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) Process, the research-based gold standard of creativity methods, and be exposed to the FourSight framework, which can help you understand how you and your teammates approach challenges. In an incredibly engaging format, your team of experienced facilitators will use hands-on activities, real-world examples, and a variety of divergent and convergent thinking tools to give you the skills you need to advance your personal and professional goals.
Foundations of Creative Problem Solving is the first of four skills-building courses in Creative Problem Solving. After completing all four CPS courses, you will deepen your ability to facilitate and train others in the CPS process, while also becoming eligible to be considered to lead CPS programs at future CPSIs!
In this course, you will:
• Recognize and overcome blocks to creativity. • Identify attitudes and behaviors conducive to creative thinking. • Apply core concepts of creative thinking. • Use a variety of divergent and convergent thinking tools. • Apply the CPS method to many simulated or real situations. • Consciously be creative when facing problems and opportunities.
NOTE: You must attend your Core CPS Course all four mornings of the conference in order to complete this program.
