Creative Problem Solving Institute (CPSI)
At the Creative Problem Solving Institute (CPSI, say "SIP-see"), you'll discover your own creativity and learn how to apply it to the varied challenges you face in your life. We've developed such effective courses and workshops in creativity and its applications that our participants have been returning to CPSI from all over the world for more than 53 years. We at CPSI have always believed that everyone is creative and that skills in creativity can be taught. We believe that the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) process developed by Alex Osborn (author of Applied Imagination and coiner of the term "brainstorming") and Sid Parnes provides an invaluable foundation for identifying challenges, generating ideas, and implementing innovative solutions.
