Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

In Creative Problem Solving, Tony Proctor dispenses readers with rich examples of ideation techniques, as well as challenging the readers to question fundamental issues and develop their own capabilities. Proctor showers readers with easy-to-use techniques that have the potential to transform anyone into a genius level creative thinker and problem solver. The author explains and shares good practices for managers to avoid arriving at the same old answers to problems. Proctor offers plenty of techniques that today’s readers can use to bridge the creativity gap and unleash their hidden potential in problem solving.

Creative Problem Solving is full of practical guidance, as well as case studies to illustrate the key points. It provides the latest guide for generating new ideas – including a chapter to explain the range of computer software, apps, photographs and videos that can act as a spurt to ideation.

This book is invaluable reading for undergraduate, postgraduate and MBA courses, as well as being particularly useful in ongoing professional development courses for managers.

Creativity is a life skill for leaders, managers, decision makers and students. The fifth edition of Creative Problem Solving provides excellent techniques to creative and critical thinking. I have used cases, techniques, methods and examples from Tony Proctor’s book in my teaching, which will help my students to acquire skills in high demand in business and government to solve complex problems.

Creative Problem Solving is very supportive of a practice-led approach to management education, at a time when creative thinking skills are increasingly necessary across organisations of all sizes and sectors. Drawing on comprehensive and in-depth theoretical support, it offers lots of useful practical cases and examples to stimulate critical analysis and debate. I have used previous editions as a core text and continue to do so with postgraduate students locally and globally to support decision making, problem solving and exploration of opportunities.
