Student Hub Live: Creative problem-solving: techniques for success

Are you more of a dreamer, a realist or a critic? All of these characteristics help you work round the problem-solving cycle.

When you are confronted with a new problem, the way you approach finding the solutions is based on the creativity cycle.

Each of us has personal preferences for which part of the cycle we prefer to work in. To be truly successful you need to work on all parts of the cycle.

This session will introduce the creative problem-solving cycle and the steps people take to solve problems. It will give you some ideas on how you can jumpstart your creativity by using tools to help each part of the cycle. Please note this is not about mathematical style problems.

Suitable for: Level 1, 2, 3 and postgraduate students
