The Creative Problem Solving method is critical to our organization. It was key to redesigning our New Product Development process, helped the cross-functional team work more collaboratively, and resulted in more strategic thinking. We use it formally in the NPD process and informally on a daily basis, making many meetings and projects far more productive.”
