Objectives of the course
Solving a problem creatively means approaching the problem in an attractive way, using your imagination to think outside the box, gain new perspectives and develop fresh ideas and solutions.
Sometimes when you’re solving a tricky problem, critical thinking can morph into over-thinking and stifle ideas. In times like those, you need a change of focus and fresh perspective; you need to open your mind to unexpected thoughts that can lead you to a creative solution.
This course will give you an overview to launch your own journey to creatively solve problems through grounding yourself in both traditional and creative problem-solving techniques.
