Welcome to the members area of the argenta website.
This section describes some of the approaches and models we use in our Innovation BoostersTM.
Within the 3 diamonds process of exploring the issue, generating ideas, and formulating action plans and proposals we make use of a wide variety of techniques taken from a number of disciplines.
"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" - Albert Einstein
These include, Creative Problem Solving (CPR), Strategy, Systems Thinking, TRIZ, NLP, and various models describing individual creative styles and preferences.
Some of these we have described in this section. Links to more in-depth explanations of the approaches can be found on the links page.
Most of the approaches aim to develop and exploit different cognitive skills and to overcome our psychological barriers to creativity.
These include stress and anxiety, rigid mental models of the world, limited attention and short-term memory capacity, our individual creative styles and preferences, our culture and values.
