| | + | |
| | + | 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. |
| | + | Explanation of each stage: |
| | + | |
| | + | *Objective Finding: Clearly state the [[Goal setting|goal]] or desired outcome of the problem-solving process. |
| | + | |
| | + | *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. |
