Park University Creative Problem Solving Tool Plan Assignment

Planning and coordination are required for success. Planning for a Creative Problem-Solving event should involve:

• The goal or desired outcome.
• Recruitment of individuals willing to participate (should be voluntary).
• Time allotted to teach individuals new techniques or tools.
• A strategy for accomplishing the event (management support and participation).
  • Agenda
  • Timing
  • Expected outcomes
  • Leader, scribes, experts – whatever staff is needed.
• Adequate space, writing/drawing materials and/or devices.
• Time for breaks, refreshments, feedback.
• Report completed at end of session.

Like any event, the better it is planned, the more success it will generate.

Directions

Develop a plan to use the Harmful/Useful tool as a Creative Problem-Solving Tool. Be sure to plan for the 7 phases on the Innovation cycle associated with the Tool. Remember this assignment is about planning to use the tool, I do not need to actually use the tool. You can use the 7 steps presented in the Introduction or develop your own process. Just make sure you have planned to use the technique to solve a problem of your choice.

Note: The Tool is comprehensive and a bit difficult. Focus the 300-word paper, following the assignment guidelines, on how you would plan such an event to achieve a successful outcome.
