Where People, Process & Proficiency Meet
People
Know how you think. Know how your team thinks.
Every person brings a unique perspective to solving problems — some love asking questions, others want to jump right into action. Understanding this diversity in how we think is essential for collaboration, innovation, and lasting impact. This is where FourSight, a research-based cognitive assessment, becomes a powerful tool. It reveals an individual’s preferred thinking style in problem solving — whether they’re Clarifiers, Ideators, Developers, or Implementers — and helps teams become more self-aware and strategically aligned. When we understand how we naturally think, we communicate better, make faster progress, and reduce unnecessary conflict. Rather than wrestling with each other, we begin to wrestle with the real problem. Cognitive diversity isn’t a challenge — it’s a strength. By recognizing and respecting different approaches to creativity and decision-making, we create inclusive environments where every voice matters, and where every contribution moves us closer to powerful solutions.
Process
A proven path from challenge to solution.
Solving today’s problems requires more than brainstorming sessions — it requires a proven process. The Creative Problem Solving (CPS) model offers a practical, flexible framework for navigating complexity with clarity. Rooted in decades of research, the CPS process guides individuals and teams through four stages: Clarify, Ideate, Develop, and Implement. Whether you're redesigning curriculum, leading change in a company, or launching a new idea, this structure helps you move from scattered thoughts to smart action. This isn’t a theoretical method. It’s deeply human and adaptable to any industry or setting. From workshops and classrooms to executive coaching, CPS equips people with the confidence to ask better questions, generate more effective ideas, and follow through with purpose. The goal isn’t just to be creative — it’s to solve the right problems, in the right way, with solutions that stick.
Proficiency
Building the Skillset to Lead Creative Change
Creative thinking can be taught, practiced, and mastered — like any powerful skill. Proficiency is what bridges talent and impact. It's the ability to move fluidly between understanding people, applying a process, and driving change. This is where ongoing training, workshops, and leadership development come into play. With programs like PAR for CPS — which stands for Purpose, Alignment, Results — leaders and facilitators can deepen their mastery of creative problem solving and begin to guide others through it. PAR for CPS provides a complete toolkit for training others in the CPS process, aligning teams, and tracking real outcomes. Whether you’re part of an organization, a school, or a global initiative, PAR for CPS helps you operationalize creativity for practical results.
Putting Creativity at the Center of Complex Problem Solving
Creativity isn’t just about ideas — it’s a mindset, a method, and a skillset
In today’s fast-changing world, problem-solving requires more than technical expertise — it demands adaptability, originality, and purpose. Creativity isn’t just a skill for artists or innovators. It’s a mindset and process that helps people see challenges from new angles, generate fresh ideas, and develop solutions that are meaningful and sustainable. When creativity is placed at the heart of how we lead, teach, and collaborate, complex challenges become opportunities for real transformation. Through my work, I guide individuals, teams, and organizations to use structured creativity to navigate uncertainty. I use evidence-based methods like the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) process, which provides a clear framework — Clarify, Ideate, Develop, and Implement — to move from confusion to clarity, and from intention to impact. Paired with tools like FourSight, which reveals how people naturally approach problems, we’re able to build teams that work better together, tapping into cognitive diversity instead of struggling against it.
