Creative Problem Solving Skills
Most people tend to approach problems in a linear fashion, looking for a single "right" solution. But sometimes, the best way to solve a problem is to think outside the box and come up with a creative solution.
What is Creative Problem Solving?
Creative problem solving is a process for approaching problems in a non-linear, or out-of-the-box, manner. It involves using creative thinking techniques to generate new ideas and solutions that are not immediately obvious.
Why is Creative Problem Solving Important?
In today's fast-paced, ever-changing world, being able to think creatively is more important than ever. With the ability to come up with new ideas and solutions, you'll be better equipped to handle whatever challenges come your way.

This course is designed for anyone who wants to learn how to solve problems in a more creative way. Whether you're a business professional, a student, or simply someone who wants to improve their problem-solving skills, this course will give you the tools you need to succeed.
Think of all the problems that you have encountered in your life.
You found some way to deal with them and, on reflection you may feel that you dealt with some problems in a better way than others.
When tackling a problem we all use some kind of structured approach but we don’t always recognise what that approach is.
Our approach is probably automatic and has developed by accident as a result of our work and life experiences. This ‘automatic’ approach to problem solving saves thinking time but doesn’t allow us to really understand why sometimes we are less successful than we would like to be.
This Udemy course will help you understand the fundamentals of problem solving and will equip you with tested and effective techniques and strategies to solve various types of problems, whether in your personal or professional life.
Who this course is for:
- This course is ideal for managers and supervisors whose roles involve solving problems. The course is also suitable to any individual interested in developing or improving problem solving and decision making skills.
