Book Description

March 17, 1999
Think about it: Does it make sense to try solving a problem using the same kind of thinking that caused the problem in the first place? Unfortunately, this happens all too often. In Creative Solution Finding, Gerald Nadler and Shozo Hibino, authors of the groundbreaking book Breakthrough Thinking, offer an entirely new way for finding solutions: Full-Spectrum Thinking. This approach presents new principles and a new process for creating and restructuring solutions.

"Nadler and Hibino have taken traditional Western problem solving to task by introducing a new total approach to solution-finding that has unlimited potential for today's policy setters in any field."

—Joe Weller, President and CEO, Nestlé USA, Inc.

"Creative Solution Finding offers a new thinking paradigm for our times that is as elegant in its clarity as it is profound in its potential."

—Jon C. Madonna, Chairman and Chief Executive, KPMG Peat Marwick, Certified Public Accountants

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesing reading, but not a quick read!!!, August 29, 1999

This review is from: Creative Solution Finding : The Triumph of Breakthrough Thinking over Conventional Problem Solving (Paperback)
Get your mental sledgehammer ready!!! Be prepared to spend some time marshalling your mental resources to take full advantage of this book. The seven principles of full spectrum thinking, although intruiging, will tax your mental energies while you spend time mastering these new skills, these are not light concepts. Mastering the systems matrix, the conceptual template for your problem-solving activities, will prove to be a rugged challenge indeed. This new approach to problem solving emphasises that you must consider what you central purpose is among other things and create a system of support structures around that purpose. Get the headache pills ready. And, by all means accept the challenge!!! Don't be discouraged. Who knows what you may accomplish!!!? Good luck!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars another great job by Nadler&Hibino, September 22, 1999

This review is from: Creative Solution Finding : The Triumph of Breakthrough Thinking over Conventional Problem Solving (Paperback)
Having read "Breakthrough Thinking" the creative solution finding was just as great.

I would suggest that anyone who has read Drucker, Juran, Deming and Crosby will find that Nadler & Hibino work just as meaningful
