Tim Hurson (born 1946) is a speaker, writer, and creativity theorist living in Toronto, Canada. He was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and grew up in New York, USA. He is now a Canadian citizen. He was educated at The Peddie School in Hightstown, New Jersey, and went to college at Oberlin College in Ohio.[1]
Tim Hurson was a founding partner of Manifest Communications, a company focussed on social change strategy. He served as its President until selling the company in 1996.[2][3][4] After working independently for several years, he became a founding partner of thinkx intellectual capital.[5][6]
Hurson developed a problem-solving technique known as the thinkx Productive Thinking Model, a six-step process that builds on the Osborn-Parnes Creative Problem Solving Process, combining it with more rigorous engineering-based techniques such as IDEF.[7]
Hurson is a founding Director of Facilitators Without Borders, a faculty member of CREA (the conference of the Creativity European Association)[8] and co-founder of Mindcamp.[9]
