Creative Problem Solving Overview This highly energising and interactive course not only will enable you to develop creative skills, but will also provide you with tools and techniques to support an environment encouraging creativity in the workplace in order to meet the many challenges your organization face both at strategic and operational levels.

Newness is indicated by unusualness and originality, however this can be relative i.e. any idea that is novel to the perceiver.
