To many, "creativity" is measured by how many ideas someone can come up with. This mind set assumes that some people are creative while others are not.; Actually, everyone is creative. The FourSight Creative Problem Solving and Innovative Thinking process is a highly researched, field-tested assessment that identifies four steps to every creative solution:
- Clarify – Define the problem
- Ideate – Generate possible solutions
- Develop – Create all the elements of the accepted solution
