Creative Problem Solving and Decision Making: Where Do Ideas Come From?

Wednesday June 13, 2012 @ HCES (Hunter College Elementary School), New York, NY

Presented by Hunter College Continuing Ed

Creative Problem Solving and Decision Making: Where Do Ideas Come From $400 NEW! (CRPRSOD)

Daniel Pink tells us, “The future belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind: designers, inventors, teachers, storytellers—creative and emphatic ‘right-brain’ thinkers whose abilities mark the fault line between who gets ahead and who doesn’t.” How then can we become more creative and emphatic thinkers to meet the challenge of this new playing field? Where exactly do our ideas come from? Since knowledge is relative to our human interaction with the world, many of our ideas come from the thought training we use most often. With so many decision-making systems available, what kind works best in a particular situation? This course will help you become a better creative problem solver. Coursework will include in-depth exposure and testing of a wide range of excellent creative problem solving and brainstorming tools used in the business and creative idea-making worlds. Be prepared to work collaboratively using these tools.

We have but one over-arching rule for comments: Do not add to the chaos of the universe.

  • This blog is devoted to developing a point of view around the Future of Work through the lens of the digital creative class. It offers some of the best career writing out there to help you get ahead as well as some brand new bloggers livin' the dream and tellin' it like it is. We encourage you to use the comments to drive conversations to the next level, bounce ideas off our bloggers, challenge them, and engage in dialogue with your fellow readers.
  • Disagreement is fine. If one of our bloggers gets your goat, say so, but elevate the conversation. Substantiate. Strive to teach. Your words might actually change someone's opinion. Don't just rant.
  • Sign your name. Anonymity makes you a wimp.
  • If you're just commenting to get your handle out there, please be clever about it. Or witty. We'll delete unimaginative self-promotion.
  • We'll also likely delete comments that are vulgar, inadvertently or maliciously off-topic, spammy, creepy or sloppy.
