This thesis proposes what a framework for individual creative problem solving could look like. The proposal is based on a comparative analysis of three established approaches: CPS (Creative Problem Solving), TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving), and Lateral Thinking. In brief, CPS offers a step-by-step process, TRIZ identifies recurring patterns in inventive solutions, and Lateral Thinking encourages viewing problems from new angles. By comparing these approaches, the thesis sketches principles that individuals can use to structure their creative work.

Dette speciale fremsætter et forslag til, hvordan et personligt rammeværk for kreativ problemløsning kan se ud. Forslaget bygger på en komparativ analyse af tre velkendte metoder: CPS (Creative Problem Solving), TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) og Lateral Thinking (sideværts tænkning). Kort forklaret tilbyder CPS en trinvis proces, TRIZ identificerer mønstre i opfindsomme løsninger, og Lateral Thinking hjælper med at bryde vanetænkning og se problemer fra nye vinkler. Ved at sammenligne disse tilgange skitserer specialet principper, som enkeltpersoner kan bruge til at strukturere deres kreative arbejde.
