creativityThursday, 21 October 2010
The production of new and useful concepts, ideas or products (Amabile, 1988; Boden, 1999; Stein, 1974).
The ability to overcome self limitations (Ackoff & Vergara, 1988).
The result of the interaction between knowledge, imagination, evaluation and the creative attitude (Noller).

Thursday, 21 October 2010
The R-complex is named for the most advanced part of the brain higher mammals share with reptiles. It is responsible for rage and basic survival fight-or-flight responses.
Often, the R-Complex can override the more rational function of the brain and result in unpredictable, primitive behaviour in even the most sentient of creatures, humans included.
A well developed and healthy neo-cortex can monitor R-Complex activity in sentient beings.
The Reptilian complex is the most ancient part of a very successful brain scheme, evolutionarily speaking.

The limbic system is the set of brain structures that forms the inner border of the cortex which support a variety of functions including emotion, behaviour, long term memory, sensory transfer and olfaction.
! Amygdala: Involved in signalling the cortex of motivationally significant stimuli such as those related to reward and fear in addition to social functions.
! Hippocampus: Required for the formation of long-term memories and implicated in maintenance of cognitive maps for navigation.
! Parahippocampal gyrus: Plays a role in the formation of spatial memory.
! Cingulate gyrus: autonomic functions regulating heart rate, blood pressure and cognitive and attentional processing.
! Hypothalamus: Regulates the autonomic nervous system via hormone production and release.
! Thalamus: The "relay station" to the cerebral cortex

7 ways to stop companies from being more innovative
Source: Vardis, Selden (2008) Report Card on Innovation. Center for Business Innovation and Creativity, Coles College of Business, Kennesaw State University. Proceedings CIM Conference
1. Have a corporate culture that resists change
2. Have a top management that only accepts its own ideas
3. Have in place a risk-adverse top management
4. Be fearful of change, failure, risk, loss of money
5. Indulge in inertia - Believe that nothing new is needed
6. Discouraging the following: Funding of new ideas, focus of vision, employee training to be alert to new possibilities, motivation and rewards for new ideas, encouragement to take risks, flexibility of thinking, top management support
7. Micromanage most activities

The Creative Studies Project
The Creative Studies Project took place from 1969 through 1972 at
Buffalo State College – State University of New York. The purpose of
this landmark investigation was “to conduct research into the
nature and nurture of creative behaviour, and to translate the
findings into educational programmes” (Parnes & Noller, 1972).
This research was an extension of the “pilot experimentation and the
development of courses, programmes, and methods designed to
stimulate creative behaviour” that took place at the State University
of New York at Buffalo from 1949 to 1967.

The Creative ProcessCreative Problem Solving & Productive Thinking
Frameworks forcreative thinking
Thursday, 21 October 2010
Creative Problem Solving is a comprehensive cognitive and affective system built on our natural creative processes that deliberately ignites creative thinking and, as a result, generates creative solutions and change
CPS as a deliberate creative process takes intuitive responses to open-ended problems and moves them from trial and error to targeted strategies. In accomplishing this, CPS (1) influences how people think about themselves and the world around them in relation to change; and (2) improves individual and team performance for problems that appear to have no immediate solution.

Creative Problem Solving (50 years of development and research)
1. The CPS process parallels people’s natural creative thinking processes
by efficiently organising what happens when they work with problems.
This means that CPS has an intuitive base that is easy to tap into in
more explicit ways.
2. Through the alternating phases of divergent (generating options) and
convergent thinking (evaluating options), and the use of tools that
support them, CPS provides a way to manage that most ferocious
opponent of creative thinking—premature or inappropriate judgement.
3. CPS combines thinking with doing, which helps people accomplish
concrete actions and get results from their initial ideas.
4. Finally, CPS provides a flexible format that is capable of taking in many
creativity tools and approaches.

Divergent Thinking SkillsFluency (getting a large number of ideas or responses); flexibility (getting variety in kinds or categories of ideas or responses); elaboration (adding to or developing existing ideas or responses); and originality (getting new, novel or different ideas or responses)
Convergent Thinking SkillsScreening (filtering - keeping some and discarding others for a particular reason), sorting (categorising or grouping by some implicit or explicit schema), and prioritising (determining the rank order among options); supporting (examining for positive attributes; identifying and putting them forward to be considered further), and developing (strengthening, improving, fleshing out the overall option so that it appears doable)

The productive thinking process is designed to help discover and explore new, often challenging, ideas, concepts, and solutions that may be useful, profitable, or beneficial.
Productive Thinking
Productive thinking is important for innovation, growth, capacity building, differentiation, value creation, and new product and process development.
Productive thinking combines and balances two distinct thinking modes — creative thinking, a free-wheeling generative process, aimed at producing as many new ideas as possible, and critical thinking, a disciplined evaluative process aimed at selecting and developing those ideas with the most promise.
Thursday, 21 October 2010
Productive Thinking
Productive thinking, therefore, is a balanced process of making lists and making choices.
Creative thinking is:•! Generative•! Non-judgmental•! ExpansiveIn practice, creative thinking uses divergent strategies to generate long lists of possibilities.
Critical thinking is:•! Selective•! Judgmental•! FocusingIn practice, critical thinking uses convergent strategies to select ideas that may hold promise.

Creative thinking guidelines Critical thinking guidelines
Defer judgement. This doesn't mean eliminating judgement, just waiting until the appropriate time. Give ideas a chance.
Build on ideas. Create more ideas by adding slight twists and variations.
Seek wild ideas. It’s easier to tame a wild idea than to invigorate a dull one.
Go for quantity. Stretch: set a target of 30 itches, criteria, questions, ideas — whatever you're working on. Then go for more.
Use these guidelines as you make your lists.
Define success. Establish the criteria against which to measure your ideas.
Unpack ideas. Analyse them to understand their principles, themes, and implications.
Evaluate. Measure your ideas against the success criteria you have chosen.
Judge generatively. Avoid binary (yes/no) evaluations. Look for ways to improve your ideas as you evaluate them.
Use these guidelines as you make your choices.

Divergent Thinking: Creativity training provides the capacity to generate multiple solutions as opposed to the one correct solution (fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration)
Problem Solving: Creativity training provides high-order cognitive processes that require the modulation and control of more routines or fundamental skills (8 core processing operations: problem construction, information gathering, concept search, conceptual combination, idea generation, idea evaluation, implementation planning, action monitoring), used to generate solutions (ad-hoc or creative) to problems (simple or complex / defined or ill-defined)
Group Performance: Creativity training (CPS) provides a framework (process) through which groups members can productively work together to successfully resolve a complex problem
Individuals attitude: Creativity training significantly enhances employees’ attitudes toward active divergence, as well as a tendency to avoid premature convergence.
Individuals behaviours: Creativity training enhances behaviours and skills related to performance at work, (such as problem-finding, ideation and idea evaluation,) and has a long-term effect in 3 skill areas: sensitivity to problems, ability to change and the way a person approaches different kinds of problems.

The scientific explanationBrain's Problem-Solving Function At Work When We Daydream
A new University of British Columbia study finds that our brains are much more active when we daydream than previously thought
The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, finds that activity in numerous brain regions increases when our minds wander. It also finds that brain areas associated with complex problem-solving – previously thought to go dormant when we daydream – are in fact highly active during these episodes.
"Mind wandering is typically associated with negative things like laziness or inattentiveness," says lead author, Prof. Kalina Christoff, UBC Dept. of Psychology. "But this study shows our brains are very active when we daydream – much more active than when we focus on routine tasks."
For the study, subjects were placed inside an fMRI scanner, where they performed the simple routine task of pushing a button when numbers appear on a screen. The researchers tracked subjects' attentiveness moment-to-moment through brain scans, subjective reports from subjects and by tracking their performance on the task.
The findings suggest that daydreaming – which can occupy as much as one third of our waking lives – is an important cognitive state where we may unconsciously turn our attention from immediate tasks to sort through important problems in our lives.
Until now, the brain's "default network" – which is linked to easy, routine mental activity and includes the medial prefrontal cortex (PFC), the posterior cingulate cortex and the temporoparietal junction – was the only part of the brain thought to be active when our minds wander.
However, the study finds that the brain's "executive network" – associated with high-level, complex problem-solving and including the lateral PFC and the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex – also becomes activated when we daydream.
"This is a surprising finding, that these two brain networks are activated in parallel," says Christoff. "Until now, scientists have thought they operated on an either-or basis – when one was activated, the other was thought to be dormant." The less subjects were aware that their mind was wandering, the more both networks were activated.
The quantity and quality of brain activity suggests that people struggling to solve complicated problems might be better off switching to a simpler task and letting their mind wander.
"When you daydream, you may not be achieving your immediate goal – say reading a book or paying attention in class – but your mind may be taking that time to address more important questions in your life, such as advancing your career or personal relationships," says Christoff.

Design thinking is a process for practical, creative resolution of problems or issues that looks for an improved future result. Unlike analytical thinking, design thinking is a creative process based around the "building up" of ideas. There are no judgements early on in design thinking. This eliminates the fear of failure and encourages maximum input and participation in the ideation and prototype phases. Outside the box thinking is encouraged in these earlier processes since this can often lead to creative solutions.

General FrameworkDuPont wanted to stimulate new product development and overall organizational improvement." They created the DuPont Center for Innovation and Creativity to provide the necessary support." We trained the Center’s facilitators in the use of the Creative Problem Solving v6.1™ framework for stimulating innovation and organizational improvement." It has resulted in a wide variety of changes including the new application of core products and supported the merger of DuPont with the Forum company.
Climate for Innovation’s Impact on New Product Development3M wanted to further the climate for creativity and innovation in their organization. Using the Situational Outlook Questionnaire® (SOQ) we assessed the climate for innovation within some of the 3M innovation teams and departments. 3M’s management took the results of the SOQ and with assistance from CPSB learned how to improve certain aspects of the working climate. These insights resulted in improving new product development processes, shortening time to market and improving product market expansion.
Learning a Set of ToolsProcter & Gamble’s Corporate Training and Development needed to provide employees with skills in its core competency of creativity and problem solving. We designed, delivered, and licensed a course in tools for Creative Problem Solving that has been provided for over ten years to thousands of people.
Developing a Common Skill-baseAs a result of the success of the “Innovation Champions” program, IBM asked CPSB to help develop a program whereby creativity, problem solving and facilitation skills could be integrated organization-wide. The result of using these skills and tools has been felt throughout IBM, including significant revenue increase in IBM’s patent productivity, which has turned into a major revenue source for the business.
