Simplex is a creative problem-solving process that is used to identify solutions to complex problems. Many of the problems we encounter are fuzzy situations, meaning that they are ambiguous, unstructured, and do not have a clear solution. The Simplex process provides a systematic approach for problem solving that encourages innovation and creativity through critical thinking.

Simplex takes participants through 8 steps from problem finding to action, by applying creative thinking skills ofÌýdiverging, converging and deferral of judgment.Ìý

Step 1-Problem Finding
Step 2-Fact Finding
Step 3-Problem Definition
Step 4-Idea Finding
Step 5-Evaluation and Selection
Step 6-Action Planning
Step 7-Gaining Acceptance
Step 8-Action

By the end of Level I, participants will be able to:

  • Recognize the value of creativity and its relationship to individual, team and organizational effectiveness
  • Display tolerance for ambiguity and unstructured problems
  • Demonstrate receptiveness to the ideas of others and appreciation for varied perspectives and problem solving styles
