Course description
Foundations of Creative Thinking and Problem Solving” is a hands-on, practical course designed to help professionals transform uncertainty into confident action. In today’s rapidly changing workplace, creativity isn’t just for artists—it’s an essential skill for problem-solvers, innovators, and everyday decision-makers. This course demystifies creativity by showing how structured methods, clear thinking, and simple tools can spark innovation across any role or industry. Learners will explore two proven frameworks—Design Thinking and Creative Problem Solving (CPS)—to move from messy problems to measurable outcomes. You’ll discover how to empathize with users, define challenges clearly, generate a wide range of ideas, and turn the best ones into real solutions. Along the way, you’ll practice core creative habits such as divergent and convergent thinking, using the SCAMPER checklist to spark ideas and dot-voting to prioritize options efficiently. The course also emphasizes the human side of creativity—cultivating a growth mindset and fostering psychological safety so everyone feels empowered to contribute ideas. Finally, you’ll learn how to use “How Might We” statements, incubation, and reflection to refine ideas and sustain innovation over time. By the end of this course, you’ll have a repeatable, team-friendly process for creative problem solving—one that helps you move from insight to action faster and with greater confidence.
