This document summarizes the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) process developed in the 1950s by Alex Osborn and Dr. Sidney J. Parnes. The CPS process follows three stages (explore the challenge, generate ideas, prepare for action) and six steps to guide groups through divergent and convergent thinking. It was created as a more structured alternative to typical brainstorming approaches and encourages the generation and exploration of many options without judgement before converging on solutions.
