“Design thinking actually is an interesting — and very effective — way of mitigating risks around things you don’t know about.” — Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO
This document discusses creative thinking and tools for developing creative thinking skills. It defines creative thinking as a learnable skill that empowers people by strengthening their natural abilities. Some techniques for creative thinking include brainstorming, generating questions, and using checklists. Edward de Bono developed the idea of the "Six Thinking Hats" as an aid for parallel thinking - each hat represents a role or mode of thinking such as being informative, intuitive, cautious, constructive, creative, or reflective. The overall message is that teaching thinking skills can increase self-esteem and confidence by helping people feel in control of their lives.
The document discusses Design Thinking and its application in education. It defines Design Thinking as a prescribed process for creating solutions to problems that emphasizes empathy, observing user pain points, iterative prototyping and feedback. The document then shares the experience of Forest Hills Public Schools which used Design Thinking and identified eight key competencies including curiosity, creativity, collaboration and more. It encourages readers to apply Design Thinking to their own work by identifying problems, leveraging existing resources, and getting started through an iterative process.
This document discusses creative thinking and problem solving techniques. It defines creativity as creating something new and valuable, like an idea or solution. Creative thinking involves looking at problems with a fresh perspective to suggest unorthodox solutions. Several creative thinking techniques are presented, including brainstorming, focus groups, attribute analysis, and the 6 hats method. Brainstorming rules like deferring judgment and encouraging unusual ideas are outlined. Exercises are provided for participants to practice applying these techniques by developing scenarios in groups and choosing the best solutions. The document encourages using different perspectives like facts, creativity, benefits, cautions, and process to think through problems.
The document discusses creativity in management. It defines creativity as the reorganization of experience into new configurations, involving knowledge, imagination, and evaluation. Creativity involves three domains - art, discovery, and humor. The document also discusses how the two hemispheres of the brain process information differently and their relationship to creativity and innovation. It provides tips for enhancing creativity, including keeping a notepad, using the internet, and maintaining an organizational environment that supports creativity.
This document discusses developing creative thinking. It defines creative thinking as unconventional thinking that merges ideas in new ways. It provides motivation quotes about the need for new perspectives and abandoning old ways of thinking. The document then discusses that the average person has about 100 new ideas per day, and in a team of 6 people generating ideas for 2 days could result in 1200 new ideas. It describes techniques for boosting creativity like brainstorming, mind mapping, and attribute listing. It emphasizes having both present-focused teams and future-focused teams to prepare for what's to come. Throughout it encourages taking risks, being curious, and challenging assumptions to enhance creative thinking.
1. Creativity involves the reorganization of experience into new configurations and is a function of knowledge, imagination, and evaluation. It can take the form of art, discovery, or humor.
2. Each hemisphere of the brain processes different types of information - the left brain is logical and analytical while the right brain is intuitive and looks at the whole picture.
3. Creativity generates new ideas while innovation is implementing those ideas. Innovation gives companies competitive advantages through new approaches and flexibility.
Most people are born creative. As children, we revel in imaginary play, ask outlandish questions, draw blobs and call them dinosaurs. But over time, because of socialization and formal education, a lot of us start to stifle those impulses. We learn to be warier of judgment, more cautious, more analytical. The world seems to divide into “creatives” and “noncreatives,” and too many people consciously or unconsciously resign themselves to the latter category.
And yet we know that creativity is essential to success in any discipline or industry. According to a recent IBM survey of chief executives around the world, it’s the most sought-after trait in leaders today. No one can deny that creative thinking has enabled the rise and continued success of countless companies, from start-ups like Facebook and Google to stalwarts like Procter & Gamble and General Electric.
In this presentation you will discover why you lost your creative confidence—the natural ability to come up with new ideas and the courage to try them out, and how to restore it back.

are two brainstorming methods – individual and group.
Though both of them have their own advantages in terms of providing stimuli for idea
generation, people are more creative when they brainstorm on their own rather than in
groups. Individual brainstorming is better than group brainstorming as it provides the
working flexibility and gives a courageous environment to put all our ideas. What do you
