Center for Applied Imagination

The Center for Applied Imagination, and its academic unit the Creativity and Change Leadership Department, has researched and taught creativity, creative problem-solving, and change leadership for more than half a century. We are the pioneering academic program in the field of applied-creativity education. Our roots go back to Alex Osborn, the originator of brainstorming and the Creative Problem-Solving Process. It all started here in Buffalo and we are proud to carry his vision into the twenty-first century and beyond.
