Many people have analytical tools they've acquired through formal studies or work experience that they apply when faced with a challenging situation. Indeed, organisations have extensive experience in applying rational and analytical skills such as data mining, correlation analysis, scenario analysis and forecasting, to name a few. These are all valuable and have their place.

Organisations sometimes lack knowledge or experience of using other tools and processes such as creative tools. In this book the authors describe our favourite creative exercises and how we've used them for solving complex problems and envisioning the future.
