From the Paper:

"But with changing times, is it possible to stick to old ways of reaching solutions and still come up with something workable? Edward De Bono and other great thinkers and strategists believe this is no longer possible or even desirable. Managers can gain more respect and admiration by coming up with creative solutions to their problems. So instead of sticking to old trite ways of problem solving, they must seek new approaches and strategies. In one great article by Daisy Hickman, "How to access all of your problem-solving abilities" (1995) author shows why problem solving is important and why exactly we need to adopt more creative approaches in order to awaken the "sleeping giant" within."
