New Approach to Creativity • Breakthroughs needed in all areas • Involvement of all in creatively tackling challenges • Natural creativity in people must be harnessed • Common process for dramatic improvement. www.qimpro.com

“Creativity, at the most basic level, is the process of generating many ideas. Innovation is the process of selecting/combining, refining, and turning the best creative idea(s) into reality. Both are equally important for organizations to be competitive.” Bob King GOAL/QPC www.qimpro.com
Improvement • Structured approaches to quality improvement focus on identifying root causes • Assume good ideas and solutions will flow naturally • Team members come up with tried (and tired) solutions • Situations/problems need to be redefined with a entirely fresh approach. www.qimpro.com
The Seven-Step Improvement Process • Select the problem and describe the improvement opportunity • Describe the current process surrounding the improvement opportunity • Describe all possible causes and agree on root cause • Develop an effective and workable solution • Implement the solution and process change • Review and evaluate the result of change • Reflect and act on learning. www.qimpro.com

Brainwriting 6-3-5 Brainwriting 6-3-5 provides teams with a method for generating and sharing ideas in writing, which differs from brainstorming where ideas are shared verbally. www.qimpro.com
Classic Brainstorming This tool allows team members to pool their knowledge and creativity in an open, non-critical environment. Brainstorming discourages same-old-way thinking by creating more and more ideas that team members can build upon. www.qimpro.com
Imaginary Brainstorming Imaginary Brainstorming is a tool that provides a team with an opportunity to step out of the real problem, generate ideas for a radically different yet related imaginary problem, and apply the new ideas that are generated to the real problem. www.qimpro.com
Morphological Box Morphological Box helps teams to identify all practical solutions to a problem. Morphological Box presents an exhaustive picture of all the potential solutions to every essential part of the problem. www.qimpro.com
Picture Associations and Biotechniques Picture Associations and Biotechniques moves teams that are trapped in traditional thinking by using pictures and examples from nature as a way to stimulate fresh perspectives and new solutions. www.qimpro.com
Problem Reformulation Problem Reformulation is a method of looking at a system in which a problem exists and for picking an approach that promises the greatest effect with the smallest effort. www.qimpro.com
TILMAG Through its structured and systematic approach, TILMAG helps a team to define ideal solutions for the problem at hand, create and explore associations based on paired combinations of ideal solution elements. www.qimpro.com
