Seven Operating Principles for Enhanced Creative Problem Solving Training.

Grossman, Stephen R.; Wiseman, Edward E.

Journal of Creative Behavior, v27 n1 p1-17 1993

Seven principles are presented for improving creative thinking, based on assumptions of creativity as a perceptual shift resulting from a metamorphic mental image. Principles include (1) the future initiates and pulls creative thought; (2) initial fact finding is best postponed; (3) problem redefinition is often retrospective; and (4) metaphors and analogies fuel the process.
