Edward de Bono believes that without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns. Over the course of the previous decade, several useful frameworks have been established to solve complicated organizational issues. But in terms of creative thinking, what we truly want, and need are the abilities that will assist us in addressing difficulties in a holistic manner, both in our professional and personal lives. Fortunately, the ability to solve problems is one that can be honed with practice and experience. In order to solve a problem, we must first identify the problem that needs to be solved. We can figure out what triggered it and why once we get to that point. After that, we will be able to devise a solution. If we can solve problems effectively, we will be able to go to the bottom of problems and find lasting answers to them, rather than just applying temporary fixes. The ability to effectively solve problems may also assist enhance personal and professional connections
