Creative Problem-Solving Techniques

Creative problem-solving techniques involve using imaginative and innovative approaches to address challenges or generate ideas. Common methods include brainstorming, where individuals or groups freely share ideas without judgment; mind mapping, which visually organizes thoughts around a central concept; and the SCAMPER technique, which encourages modifications by asking questions about substituting, combining, adapting, modifying, putting to another use, eliminating, and reversing elements of a problem. These techniques foster open thinking and collaboration, encouraging new perspectives to find effective solutions in any context, including general knowledge.
