Creative thinking is an essential skill for Career
Development
19. How to apply creative thinking for
building CAREER
1. Use creative thinking to maximize opportunities
Bring together an inter-disciplinary team to
collaborate on streamlining and improving the
situation, then present your findings to the people
who can make it happen. Such an exchange of
knowledge and ideas can shape future direction and
being involved in innovation is a sure-fire way to
boost your career, on paper and in practice
20. Invest in ideas generation
If you have a budget for team-building in your current role,
why not consider activities focused on getting employees to
step away from their usual way of thinking, going beyond
their comfort zone and seeing things from a different
perspective? If you don’t control a budget, why not suggest
such an endeavor to your line manager? There are plenty of
organization that specialize in innovation workshops and
training - such as arts institutions and theatre companies –
and could result in increased employee engagement,
corporate growth and driving business success.
21. Make your workplace more
creative
Something as simple as a less formal approach to meetings and
presentations can work wonders in encouraging creative
thinking. We’ve all heard of writer’s block, but it’s not just
wordsmiths who can struggle to find creative inspiration. If team
meetings always take the same dull format, why not mix things
up with a quick new task to get everyone thinking more freely? If
annual reports or presentations send the entire audience to
sleep, why not look at ways of better engaging with them,
perhaps through amusing visuals, off-the wall facts or short
break-out sessions to get everyone talking and thinking?
Facilitating change in this way will demonstrate to potential
employers your ability to inspire and motivate others, which in
turn adds value to their business and boosts your employability.
