2. What is Creativity?
Creativity is defined as the tendency to generate or recognize ideas,
alternatives, or possibilities that may be useful in solving problems, and
entertaining ourselves and may be others
For example:
 When Apple Computer comes up with a brand new product
such as the iPod that no one has ever thought of before, this
is an example of creativity.
 When a painter creates a beautiful work of art, this is an
example of creativity.

3. What is Innovation?
Innovation is the practical application of ideas that result in different
new types of new offerings, like products, services, processes, and
business models.
Difference between Creativity & Innovation
Creativity is the act of conceiving something new, whether a variation
on a theme or something wholly new. Innovation is the act of putting
something into practice. It’s the difference between conceiving of the
idea of a craft that could fly through space, and actually building a
rocket that people can ride into space.

• People who possess cognitive characteristics are purposeful
• They have a great amount of knowledge about a particular subject
• People who fall under this type of category of creativity are usually
proficient at research, problem- solving, investigation and experimentation
• These types of creative people spend a great deal of time every single
day testing to develop new solutions

people

2. Deliberate & Emotional Creativity
• These types of creative people are very emotional and sensitive in
nature.
• These individuals prefer relatively quiet and personal time to reflect.
• Their creativity is always a balanced product of deliberate emotional
thinking and logical actions.
• This type of creativity happens to people at random moments
There are situations when you feel low. So, you should take 5
minutes and point out the things which are making you sad and
keep them aside and focus on the work in hand. It will help you
to get improvised results.

3. Spontaneous & Cognitive creativity
The same case happened with the great scientist Isaac
Newton. He got the idea about the law of gravity when an apple
hit his head while he was sitting under a tree and relaxing.
For example:
• This type of creativity happens when one has the knowledge
to get a particular job done, but he requires inspiration and a
hint to walk towards the right path
• This type of creativity usually happens at the most
inconvenient time, such as, having a shower

4. Spontaneous & Emotional Creativity
• Spontaneous and emotional creativity takes place in the
“amygdala” part of the human brain.
• Amygdala is responsible for all emotional type of thinking in
the human brain.
• Spontaneous ideas and creativity happen when conscious and
Prefrontal brain is resting.
• There is no need to have specific knowledge for this creativity
but there should be a skill such as writing, musical or artistic.
• This type of creativity can’t be obtained by working on it.
This type of creativity is mostly found in a great artist such as
musicians, painters, and writers etc.

15. Conclusion
Most of the successful companies like Apple, Hewlett Packard and
many more have always been the result of a successful partnership
between a creative and an analytical leader. Innovations have always
openly been achieved despite boundaries and across organisations. It
is a fact that ideas always revolve with the ability to think creatively
and outside of the box, employees are more likely to come up with
unique and innovative solutions to obstacles they encounter. This
eagerness to solve problems can lead to new ways to accomplish
tasks and adds to a more efficiently run business
