Creative tricky solving is a human-centred approach to innovation that helps individuals understand and meet the needs of their users or customers.

The Benefits of Innovative Problem-Solving
It synthesises the gathered information and identifies the core problem that needs addressing. This stage sets the foundation for the subsequent ideation stage, where designers generate various ideas and potential solutions. The prototype stage involves creating low-fidelity representations of the proposed solutions, allowing for quick and inexpensive testing. Finally, the test stage consists of gathering user feedback and iterating on the prototypes until a viable solution is found.
