Creativity & Innovation
Creative & Innovative ThinkingHow much is an idea worth?
As I travel across the country conducting public seminars here is a reoccurring theme - people are being asked to do more with less. In order for that to occur effectively, a key skill is needed: the ability to see new ways of doing things and creating strategies for process improvement. To some, this comes naturally. To others, it needs to and can be taught.
Additionally, a key element to this need is the ability to think creatively - in essence generate ideas. Now here's where it gets concerning. When I conduct a workshop one of the first questions I ask is, "How many of you think you are creative?" In most cases only 1/4- 1/3 of the room will raise a hand. Why is should that be concerning? Because people behave based on their beliefs. So, if someone doesn't think they're creative they won't access the capability to do so.
Additionally many are not taught how to be creative in an approachable, practical way. The exciting news - everyone can be taught to be so.
My creative and innovative thinking topic was one of the most requested in 2010 as both a keynote and breakout session. And no wonder, Business week released a study that indicated many CEOs consider this a critical competency for 21st century economic challenges. You can access that article by clicking here.
