Einstein is reputed to have said that if he had one hour to save the world he would spend fifty‐five minutes defining the problem and five minutes finding the solution. This is the opposite approach to the staff in most public and private offices, factories and construction sites. Simplex creative problem solving process is a system developed by Min Basadur at McMaster University, Ontario that does allow time to spend finding the real problem. It then finds a solution and programmes the implementation.
