The Creative Problem Solving Group, Inc. Celebrating 5. 0 years of Reflective Practice Versions of Creative Problem Solving. By Scott G. Isaksen, The Creative Problem Solving Group, Inc. Donald J. Treffinger, The Center for Creative Learning, Inc. Over the course of the past fifty years, many researchers and developers have presented a variety of different models of, or approaches to, creative problem solving. Research methodology. In an attempt to better understand and provide more detailed insights to the phenomenon of big data and bit data analytics, the authors. A Methodology For Evaluating Geographical Profiling Software Development' title='A Methodology For Evaluating Geographical Profiling Software Development' />Work on these presentations has taken place in many different settings, including colleges and universities, public elementary and secondary schools, small and large businesses, and numerous consulting organizations. Many of the writers and developers of these presentations have known each other, communicated with each other, and collaborated in a variety of informal or formal ways others have proceeded more independently. In the literature of psychology, sociology, education, or training and organizational development, the common phrase, creative problem solving, has been used to describe many models, which may or may not have any common origins or structure. This article surveys the gradual, systematic development of one family of approaches that emerged from a common foundation, and at least through several decades, a group of writers, developers, researchers, and trainers with institutional and geographical linkages. We refer to that body of work as Creative Problem Solving CPS upper case. We did not attempt to be comprehensive by reviewing all the modifications, adaptations, or publications within the broad area of CPS. Many other developers, writers, and consultants have studied the same foundational literature and developed their own approaches, not professionally linked with our group in any formal roles e. Basadur, Graen, Green, 1. Van. Gundy, 1. 98. Our goals are to clarify and summarize the course we have charted for ourselves within this foundation, to help others understand the history, and to help chart the future course for research, development, and application. We begin with a brief history of the research, development, and field experience that led us to our current version of the CPS framework CPS version 6. The current version is a componential or systemic approach to process, in which we sought to make CPS natural, descriptive, and flexible Isaksen, Dorval, Treffinger, 2. Treffinger, Isaksen, Dorval, 2. By providing an historical perspective, we hope to help readers interested in practice, research, andor theory to understand better the long term development of CPS. Knowing the current frameworks origins and course of development may be helpful in charting the course for future efforts, and may also contribute to effective application of the model in its present form. We hope this article will also help readers to distinguish a framework based on substantial research and theory, such as CPS, from an ever expanding array of supposedly new methods and models that spring up as if by magic or divine inspiration and multiply prolifically in the popular literature and especially in education, training, consulting, organizational development, and related fields. We are always surprised at the number of new but not really so new process models we encounter each year, and at the extent to which their developers seem unconcerned with issues of long term, sustained, research and development. We reviewed the development of new and improved CPS models in several previous publications Isaksen Dorval 1. Isaksen, Dorval, Noller Firestien, 1. Isaksen, Treffinger, Dorval, 1. Treffinger, 2. 00. Those reviews focused on presenting the various graphic representations of the model over time, with only a brief description of the rationale and research for their development. A Methodology For Evaluating Geographical Profiling Software Development' title='A Methodology For Evaluating Geographical Profiling Software Development' />By contrast, this article focuses on identifying the research and scholarly issues that provided the impetus for the new developments, as well as a summary of the modifications we made over an extended period of time. Within our own tradition, it has helped us to think about many of the versions of CPS in a way that is quite familiar to users of computer software packages we will use a decimal numeral to indicate the version number. The digit to the left of the decimal indicates the major stage or era of development, and digits to the right of the decimal represent refinements or developments within a stage, rather than a new stage or level of development. Thus, for example, versions 1. As expected, we will begin the notation with version 1. The analogy appealed to us because, much like any particular software package, CPS has undergone both fundamental, structural changes and continuous updating or refinement within each of its historical forms. In a sense, CPS can be considered software for the mind. We will present each of the CPS versions in chronological sequence, based on the focus of research and development that resulted in its modification or change at a particular time. Table 1 provides an overview of the major versions of CPS that we will review in this article. Insert Table 1 About Here. The Foundations of CPS Making the Creative Process Explicit and Deliberate. Early interest in the creative process examined the natural approaches taken by highly creative people in applying their personal creativity when solving problems e. Crawford, 1. 93. 7 Dewey, 1. Ghiselin, 1. 95. 0 Poincar, 1. Spearman, 1. 93. 1 Wallas, 1. The effort to make these creative processes more visible, explicit, and deliberate has been one of the most formidable challenges for researchers for many years. Initial Efforts to Respond to the Challenge. Alex Osborn, a founding partner of the Batten, Barton, Durstine and Osborn advertising agency and founder of the Creative Education Foundation, developed the original description of CPS, which we will describe as Version 1. In his book, Wake up your mind, Osborn 1. CPS process, which is illustrated in Figure 1. This process description was based on his work in the advertising field, within which he had to deal productively with the natural tension between those concerned with the more creative side of the business graphic artists, copy writers, etc. Osborns subsequent book, Applied Imagination 1. CPS and the term brainstorming now arguably the most widely known, used and all too frequently, misused term associated with the concept of creativity. Insert Figure 1 Osborns Seven Stages Model CPS Version 1. Osborn continued to read extensively about creativity and apply his process strategies and techniques in both his advertising work and his teaching. In the revised edition of Applied Imagination, Osborn 1. CPS by condensing the seven stage process into three more comprehensive stages, which he called fact finding, idea finding, and solution finding. We will refer to this refinement as Version 1. CPS. He considered this three stage view to be more productive than Version 1. Version 1. 1 was subsequently retained in the 1. In making the creative process more deliberate and explicit, Osborn integrated what was known at the time about the stages and tools used by highly creative individuals, based on his experience in the practical world. A noted academic and writer, Pros Vanosmael 1. European Conference on Creativity and Innovation proclaimed that Osborn broke a 2,0. Osborns interest emphasized the deliberate development of creative talent, particularly within the field of education. He held the vision of bringing a more creative trend to American education that vision was the impetus for the founding of the Creative Education Foundation and, subsequently, the development of an academic program in Buffalo.
