At this moment in time, this seems to be the only book that I have found for years that is written about generating ideas and the post-actions and activities. I will need to find ways to integrate this book into my units and this will be great for students to read learning. Nevertheless, I need time to properly read and integrate this book into my course. -- Dr Fernando Lourenco * drupal *
This book contains a broad range of tools for generating, selecting and evaluating ideas that would lead to the planning of actions.

I plan on restructuring a course and may want to use this text. I am not sure yet. I selected not adopt because your web page wouldn′t let me proceed without responding to the query. -- Dr Susan Kuznik * drupal *
This is not a bad book but it perhaps more appropriate to professional courses rather than essentially academic ones. I would use it on the CMI courses and have used it on the BA Hons Leadership top-up program. -- Mr Harry Miller * drupal *
Course cancelled. If reactivated we will probably use this book. -- Mr Indranath Neogy * drupal *
This book provides very clear and detailed description of each aspect opf a relatively complex model. It is very practical and illustrated with some useful examples. As one would expect the work is very systematic and comprehensive, with useful reflective tasks. The case studies aid understanding, and the tips for getting started are useful. Good web site too.

A welcome supplement to "Creative Problem Solving: An Introduction" - as clear, concise and accessible book as that is (I refer to the 4th Edition publish in 2005).
If you want an expansion on CPS methodology that is both meaningful and applicable, then this book is extremely valuable. The framework is linked to practise with lots of case studies.
I will be recommending this to my students. -- Mr Warren Evans * drupal *
