The Creative Problem-Solving Process
![Page 5: Today’s Journal Question What did you learn about the inventor you chose to research? Were there any interesting facts that you were unaware of before](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697c0031a28abf838cc40a7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Problem Finding
Try to determine the problem by gathering observations, feelings, and impressions about the situation
Attitudes – very important because they influence how the problem is perceived
Fact-find also importantFacts help define the problem and may provide information to be used for solution

Idea Finding
Try to come up with different ways of solving the problem
Creativity is the key
Some ideas may be absurd, but do not dismiss any alternative
All ideas to be evaluated – sometimes the craziest ideas lead to the best ventures

Solution Finding
When the ideas created are evaluated – must establish the criteria that will be used to evaluate each option
Criteria: standards used to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each idea
Ideas that do not meet criteria are tossed out – remaining ideas are ranked
Try the solutionSolution not what was expected? Try again

5 Steps
1) Define the problem – What is it?
2) Generate alternative solutions (min. 3) – be creative
3) Generate advantages and disadvantages for each solution gernerated in step 2
4) Rank you solutions
5) Select a solution. Why?

ExampleSo you’ve opened up a coffee shop in your neighborhood. You’re excited because you believe your coffee is great but also because you’re invested in the neighborhood. Your coffee shop has an intimate feel about it.
Six months later business is okay. Not great, but okay. And what you know is that there is great potential, great promise in what you are doing.
Just when you are settling in and getting the hang of doing business in your neighborhood you learn that Starbucks is moving in around the corner. This can’t be good, you think. I can’t keep up with them. They know what they are doing, their brand is established, and they have a lot of money to back their new start-up.
If you are the owner of the small coffee shop trying to make it in the neighborhood and Starbucks moves in almost next door, what would you do?
