=== 6 stages of the creative problems solving process (Often referred to as the Osborn-Parnes model) ===
* Embrace curiosity: Ask questions and seek new knowledge to open the door to [[Innovation|innovative]] solutions.
The six stages of creative problem solving, often referred to as the Osborn-Parnes model, are: Objective Finding, Fact Finding, Problem Finding, Idea Finding, Solution Finding, and Acceptance Finding; essentially, defining the problem, gathering information, identifying the core issue, brainstorming ideas, selecting the best solution, and planning for implementation.
* Take [[Risk|risks]]: Step outside your comfort zone to come up with new ideas.
Explanation of each stage:
* Be [[Openness|open-minded]]: Consider unconventional solutions and different perspectives.
* [[Brainstorming|Brainstorm]]: Gather a diverse group of people to discuss ideas without judgment.
*Objective Finding: Clearly state the [[Goal setting|goal]] or desired outcome of the problem-solving process.
* Prototype: Create tangible models or simulations of ideas to test and refine.
* Use mind mapping: A visual tool that helps organize thoughts and ideas.
*Fact Finding: Gather all relevant information and data about the problem situation.
*Problem Finding: Analyze the information to identify the root cause or key issues that need to be addressed.
*Idea Finding: Generate a wide range of potential solutions through brainstorming or other creative techniques.
*Solution Finding: Evaluate the generated ideas, select the most promising solution, and refine it.
*Acceptance Finding: Develop a plan to implement the chosen solution and address potential obstacles to acceptance.
