Vincent Nolan provides a valuable update on the body of knowledge known as Synectics. The contribution deserves attention as an account of a fascinating body of knowledge of a method seeking deliberately to stimulate creativity, particularly in small, facilitated groups. He also indicates a lack of awareness of such practical work from academic establishments. In this response I offer another perspective, from a practitioner of creative problem‐solving techniques based in an academic environment.
