Creative Connections addresses the behaviours necessary to make associations between disparate items and concepts. The main aim is for participants to seek creative problem-solving techniques; giving a telling indication of the creative thinking abilities of individuals and groups involved. By stretching the existing abilities and attributes of participants, the exercise develops a greater awareness of a multitude of creative thinking skills. The combination of fun activity and the numerical score derived from each use of Creative Connections makes this Experiential Learning Tool ideal to return to again and again in order to indicate and stimulate the development of creative thinking.

Using stimuli to invoke wide-ranging thinking and cross-referencing, Creative Connections leads to an innovative exploration of thinking that accurately reflects modern working practices.
