Innovative Problem Solving in USAF Officer PME Curriculum (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025096100)

Innovative problem solving is a critical cognitive skill that leaders need to tackle the complex and ill-defined problems inherent in leadership and dynamic organizations. In an era of rapid technological and informational innovations, Air Force leaders find themselves in a constantly changing military and world environment. Air Force leaders must be capable of innovative thought and action in order to deal with the ambiguous, complex, and novel problems this changing environment generates. Although creative problem solving is often perceived as a rare talent, it is a cognitive skill and innate ability that can be nurtured, developed, and stimulated through education and training.
