1. Tools for creative problem solving

1.1. Technique: Brainstorming

Brainstorming is a method of generating ideas and sharing knowledge to solve a particular problem or coming up with new ideas, in which participants are encouraged to think without interruption. Brainstorming is a group activity where each participant shares their ideas as soon as they come to mind, but also brainstorming can be used and individually. 

Brainstorming combines a relaxed, informal approach to problem solving with lateral thinking. It encourages people to come up with thoughts and ideas that can, at first, seem a bit crazy. Some of these ideas can be crafted into original, creative solutions to a problem, while others can spark even more ideas.
