What Is Momentum CPS?

Momentum Creative Problem Solving (MCPS) is a three phase, six step process for solving complex problems. It's a structure, a model, a process, and, it's non-confining. In fact, it's a launch pad for improvisational problem solving.

If you have a thorny, scary problem, or a huge but complicated opportunity, MCPS is perfect for understanding, working through, creating, inventing, polishing ideas, and getting into action. It is highly useful and appropriate for individuals or teams.

Proven by Large Organizations and Creative Individuals for Many Years

CPS is used by many large organizations including P&G, Leo Burnett, BBDO, Frito Lay, and many others. It's been used by entrepreneurs, artists, and educators around the globe to improve and innovate. MCPS is an updated model with a new emphasis on improvisation within the structured process.

Many professional facilitators (and coaches) use CPS as an essential framework. Facilitators continue to add new tools and techniques further amplifying CPS flexibility and effectiveness.

Professional innovators often use CPS as a foundation and add elements/tools of Design Thinking, Agile, and Lean to compliment and essentially "roll their own" innovation systems.

It's Brainstorming Done Well, And More

MCPS is far more than "brainstorming." In fact, it's the process steps that come before and after idea generation that makes CPS a complete creativity and innovation system.

Newbies often get surprisingly good results. As people use it and become more familiar with the process, results get even better.

MOMENTUM CPS is only offered by GFi

CPS training is not generally available. Due to Covid in-person training in CPS has stopped. This training is led by Master Trainer Gregg Fraley, who has used, taught, facilitated, and improved CPS tools since 1990.

The MOMENTUM CPS workshop includes how to:

Learn the mindset of rapid improvisational flow between modes of thinking.
Identify and clarify what challenge to work on, including mindset, need for a mandate, and ways to improve organizational innovation culture.
Conduct discrete research steps which includes emotional and factual data
Perform "problem framing" and perspective shifting (end of Phase One)
Think up great ideas -- doing idea generation (aka brainstorming) on focused problem frames.
Develop and Improve ideas using templates, canvases, and story telling (end of Phase Two)
Develop complete solutions, which can include several types of prototyping
Plan for action and begin implementation (end of Phase Three)

Participants in this training will learn the Momentum CPS process and work through a challenge of their choice as part of the course.
