Sidney J. Parnes (January 5, 1922 – August 19, 2013) was an American academic who was professor at Buffalo State College (located in Buffalo, New York) and the co-founder of the International Center for Studies in Creativity. The Center is housed within Buffalo State College, one of the only places in the world that offers a Masters of Science degree in Creativity. The department also now offers a distance learning version of the degree to students around the world as well as an undergraduate minor in Creative Studies.[1]
Parnes was a lifetime trustee of the Creative Education Foundation (CEF).[2] He joined the (CEF) in 1955 in order to help develop a comprehensive educational program for the CEF's Creative Problem Solving Institute (CPSI), which is the world's longest-running international creativity conference. In 1966, CEF founder Alex Osborn died, leaving Parnes to head the Foundation.[3]
Parnes and Alex Osborn developed the Creative Problem Solving Process (CPS), a structured method for generating solutions to problems.[4] This method is taught annually at the International Center for Studies in Creativity,[5] the Creative Problem Solving Institute[6] and the CREA Conference in Europe.
