dc.description.abstractStimulated by Lockwood's discussion of design thinking, creativity, and innovation and their impact on new business growth (2009), this research project sought to develop quantitative measurement of factors and attributes contributing to increased innovation in organizations; specifically within the context of creative synthesis encompassing the design thinking environment. Creative synthesis is the process or leap of faith and intuition leading to the achievement of an effective and creative problem solution. The development process resulting in the Creative Synthesis Inventory (CSI) considered the six step framework developed by Schmiedel, vom Brock, and Recker's (2014). The development process incorporated three phases and used responses from professional and industry experts and over six hundred student participants. Checkpoints were used at the conclusion of each step and the research design used mixed methods resulting in validation of a 19-item instrument. The CSI is intended to enable organizations and consultants to locate strengths and weaknesses for specific factors and attributes related to the constructs within the creative synthesis process.
