Visual Brainstorming

Escape Thinking

From Mycoted by Dr Robert Polster
From Mycoted The Productive Thinking Model (sometimes also known as thinkx ) was developed by Tim Hurson , a Canadian author, speaker, and creativity theorist. It is a structured approach to solving problems or generating creative ideas that is based in part on Creative Problem Solving (CPS) and NASA's IDEF .

Productive Thinking Model

Kepner and Tregoe method

From Mycoted This technique emphasises the ‘rational’ rather than the ‘creative’, it is essentially a method for fault diagnosis and repair rather than for disorganized or systemic problem domains, or those where freshness of vision is essential. Kepner and Tregoe (1981) describe the method below, but its origins date from the 1950’s. The method is fully developed, with recommended techniques, worksheets, training programme's, etc.
