  5. Cultural and Environmental Barriers • Problem solving is serious business • Tradition is preferable to change • Any problem can be solved by scientific thinking • Most problems can’t be solved without a lot of money • Endless distractions • Lack of support

  6. Emotional Barriers • Fear of making a mistake, to fail, to take a risk • Preference for judging ideas rather than generating them • Inability to distinguish reality
