At o2c2, we deploy the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) 6.1 framework as a powerful tool to structure creative processes and drive innovation.
This science-based methodology has a rich history of continuous development by leading researchers and practitioners. In particular, the pioneering contributions of Professors Scott Isaksen and Don Treffinger and Brian Dorval have shaped the CPS framework into what it is today: a dynamic and effective system for fostering creativity and innovation in organizations.
The evolution of CPS, which began with the pioneering work of Alex Osborn, received a crucial boost from the collaboration between Isaksen and Treffinger. Their joint research and development led to several refinements of the model, always balancing scientific thoroughness with practical applicability. Professor Isaksen’s focus on the systemic aspects of creativity and Professor Treffinger’s expertise in learning styles and individual differences combined to create a more flexible and adaptive CPS framework.
