101 Activities for Teaching Creativity and Problem Solving
Why is this topic important?
We live in a world of turbulent change. New data. New people. New technology. New problems.
We are bom- barded every day with something new. Realities shift faster than we can deal with them. In this turbulent world, traditional problem-solving methods no longer are effective in all situations. Routine, analytical
approaches—the ideal of the Industrial Age—rarely work now.
Instead, we must look for new ways to deal with change—creative solutions we can customize to fit any situation. Above all, we need new solution options, rather than relying on “the tried-and-true.” The more solution options we have, the greater the odds
that one will achieve our goals. Conventional brainstorming is not sufficient. Groups need exposure to diverse idea generation approaches and training in how to apply them.
