Creativity and the key to problem solving

We all want to be 'creative', don't we? Have you ever reflected on how creative you are yourself, whether at home or at work? Do you aspire to be more creative as a qualitative researcher and if so, what does it mean?Creativity, says Caroline Pakel-Dunlop, is a skill a qualitative researcher cannot do without

In this paper, I would like to attempt a brief review of the 'world' of applied creativity and its value to us as qualitative researchers. I want to look at what it means to be 'creative'; to ask whether everyone can be 'creative'; review some key schools of thought in creativity; and suggest how applied creativity can enhance every step we take in every qualitative project.
