Smart Questions offers an entirely new framework for creating solutions. Drawn from the authors' many years of research and field experience, the Smart Questions Approach reveals how the leading creators of solutions in almost every profession and walk of life—including business, government, education, and even in families—think and approach their assignments. The author’s holistic thinking approach shows how to use three “foundation” questions—focusing on uniqueness, purposeful information, and systems—which must be explored for every problem. These three questions, an essential starting point for exploring problems, in turn lead to other key questions that will ultimately create effective solutions.

Think about it: Does it make sense to try solving a problem using the same kind of thinking that caused the problem in the first place? Unfortunately, this happens all too often. In Creative Solution Finding, Gerald Nadler and Shozo Hibino, authors of the groundbreaking book Breakthrough Thinking, offer an entirely new way for finding solutions: Full-Spectrum Thinking. This approach presents new principles and a new process for creating and restructuring solutions. "Nadler and Hibino have taken traditional Western problem solving to task by introducing a new total approach to solution-finding that has unlimited potential for today's policy setters in any field." —Joe Weller, President and CEO, Nestlé USA, Inc. "Creative Solution Finding offers a new thinking paradigm for our times that is as elegant in its clarity as it is profound in its potential." —Jon C. Madonna, Chairman and Chief Executive, KPMG Peat Marwick, Certified Public Accountants

It really is a different paradigm of thinking that leads to powerful changes in the way I look at problems and how I practice organizational change." —William Chandon, Organizational Competency Building, Corporate Knowledge Program, Computer Sciences Corporation "I have had a 'breakthrough experience' after reading Breakthrough Thinking. I want to thank both Professor Nadler and Professor Hibino for the thought-provoking ideas presented in the book." —Dick Keller, president, Kellerco From the Trade Paperback edition.
