Creative Problem Solving "involves breaking down a problem to understand it, generating ideas to solve the problem and evaluating those ideas to find the most effective solutions. It uses techniques to make the problem solving process engaging and collaborative."[1]
Strategies for creative problem solving:

- Take risks: Step outside your comfort zone to come up with new ideas.
- Be open-minded: Consider unconventional solutions and different perspectives.
- Brainstorm: Gather a diverse group of people to discuss ideas without judgment.
- Prototype: Create tangible models or simulations of ideas to test and refine.
- Use mind mapping: A visual tool that helps organize thoughts and ideas.
- Ask open-ended questions: Rephrase problems as open-ended questions with multiple possibilities
