The aim has been to aid attention, retention, and practical application - Enhanced emphasis on flexible, dynamic process-- Enables users to select and apply CPS tools, components, and stages in a meaningful way that meets their actual needs - A framework for problem solving that has been tested and applied across ages, settings, and cultures-- Readers can apply a common approach to process across many traditional "boundaries" that have limited effectives. Creative Approaches to Problem Solving has been (and continues to be) used as a core text for faculty who are teaching courses in Creative Problem Solving or Creativity and Innovation as part of an MBA program, or in Education, a course on Creativity (often as a component of certification or endorsement requirements in gifted education). It is also used as a core text for those enrolled in professional development, continuing education, or executive education programmes.

Integrated Creative Problem Solving is the second book in the Delft Studies on Innovating series. This series is intended to give innovation/design researchers, who are connected to the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering of the Delft University of Technology, a platform to share their knowledge with a wider audience. Creativity is one of the building blocks of the first book in this series (The Delft Innovation Method: A Design Thinker's Guide to Innovation - ISBN 978 94 9094 747 7). Therefore, it seems logical to have the second book of the series go into details about creativity, creative problem solving, and organizing creative sessions. The central theme of the book is integration. Its approach seeks to integrate people and process, process and techniques, techniques with content, ideas with implementation, and, when all are combined, there should be commitment and fun. Integrated Creative Problem Solving demonstrates how creative sessions are organized and how they should function smoothly. The session's organizer - a specialist called the 'Creative Facilitator' (metaphorically known as a 'juggler') - uses creativity techniques within a group to dive into the process of serious problem solving. The 'Creative Facilitator'/'juggler' plays with cones or balls (lookalikes for ideas) together with the group. During this play, the balls can change into cones or cubes, the weight and the materials will change, as well as the stickiness of the surfaces of the cones, the cubes, and the balls. And, during all these unexpected changes, the show must go on. Integration for this juggler means balancing all the different aspects of the process of creative problem solving.

Creative Problem Solving • Total Systems Intervention • Robert L. Flood and Michael C. Jackson Department of Management Systems and Sciences, University of Hull, UK In the modern world organisations are faced with innumerable and multifaceted issues which cannot be captured in the minds of a few experts and solved with the aid of some super-method. It would be equally wrong to revert to a trial and error approach. We need to retain rigorous and formalised thinking, while admitting the need for a range of problem solving methodologies. The future prospects of management science will be much enhanced if (a) the diversity of issues confronting managers is accepted, (b) work on developing a rich variety of problem solving methodologies is undertaken, and (c) we continually ask the question: "What kind of issue can be ‘managed’ with which sort of methodology?" This volume, Creative Problem Solving: Total Systems Intervention, amounts to the bringing together of a huge human effort in the area of the management sciences. Each particular methodology that we have presented in this book is the realisation of years of work by many people, and the management and organisation theory to which we refer goes back nearly a century and has employed armies of researchers. Total systems intervention stands at the top of this mountain of effort and is able to offer an overview of the management-oriented disciplines which enables managers and decision makers to gain a command over how to employ them as a whole.
