The document discusses creative collaboration in groups. It describes several techniques for group creativity such as brainstorming, brainwriting, nominal group technique, mind mapping, and storyboarding. It notes that while groups have advantages like bringing together diverse knowledge, they also face challenges to creativity like social loafing and pressure for conformity. Groups can improve creativity by embracing diversity, facilitating supportive communication, and using techniques that incorporate individual and group idea generation and sharing. The document advocates exposing groups to different domains to break down barriers between fields and encourage novel combinations of ideas.

Design Thinking is a process for creative problem solving. It allows everyone to use creative tools to address a vast range of challenges. The process is action-oriented, embraces simple mindset shifts and tackles problems from a new direction.
According to McKinsey, companies that adopt design as part of business practices can be more resilient than others—continuing to innovate, analyze, and strategize to solve complex problems during trying times.
Some of the world's leading brands, such as Apple, Nike, Starbucks and GE, have rapidly adopted the Design Thinking approach. What's more, Design Thinking is being taught at leading universities around the world, including Stanford, Harvard and MIT.
Based on the world-renowned Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (Stanford University) model, Design Thinking encourages organizations to focus on the people they are creating for, which leads to better products, services, and internal processes. The Design Thinking framework consists of five modes or phases: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test. The framework is fully compatible with Lean and Six Sigma approaches.
This comprehensive Design Thinking PPT training presentation is tailored specifically for Design Thinking facilitators, trainers, professionals and consultants who are preparing for delivery in a classroom or workshop environment. The included wallet design exercise could be replaced with your own design challenge. In addition, the introductory module can be used as a stand-alone awareness briefing material for a general audience.
You will get to train your target audiences how to solve problems creatively by building empathy, generating ideas, prototyping and testing new concepts before final implementation.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Acquire a deep understanding of the key concepts and principles of Design Thinking
2. Understand the mindsets, process, methods and tools in creative problem solving
3. Develop skills in applying Design Thinking mindsets and practices in problem solving
Creativity PowerPoint PPT Content Modern SampleAndrew Schwartz

The definition of creativity, how creative mind works, the process of creativity, creative people and their qualities. You will discover connection between creativity and organizational success and ways to increase your personal creativity, unique information about fostering organizational creativity, management and group creativity as well as creativity and the future plus much more.
Two methods for innovation are Lean Startup and Design Thinking. So how do they work together? We look at when to use what and how to make this practically work.

Two methods for innovation are Lean Startup and Design Thinking. So how do they work together? We look at when to use what and how to make this practically work.
Developed by students at Stanford University, the Design Thinking approach was created to establish a new way to grow innovative products, processes and services. The Design Thinking process consists of six iterative stages which enable participants to seek flexible solutions and innovations concerning the issue they treat.
One important aspect of Design Thinking is the creation and cultivation of ideas within a well-coordinated team. Thus, the team spirit is a decisive element during Design Thinking operations and encourages to produce the best possible results. In addition to the team side of Design Thinking, a flexible and productive environment is crucial to develop inventive ideas and products. The more workable an environment, is the easier it is for employees to visualize and transmit thoughts and new concepts.
“A ‘brand’ is not a thing, a product, a company or an organization. A brand does not exist in the physical world – it is a mental construct. A brand can best be described as the sum total of all human experiences, perceptions and feelings about a particular thing, product or organization. Brands exist in the consciousness – of individuals and of the public.” – James R. Gregory, “Leveraging the Corporate Brand”

Brand personality is a set of human characteristics associated with a brand.
From the consumer’s point of view brand personality offer them a touch point that gives them the opportunity to connect with the brand on an emotional level. From a company’s point of view brand personality offers a host of benefits: it differentiates the brand, makes it more memorable, creates message consistency across all channels and it offers a vehicle for creating engaging brand messages.
In this presentation we explore some of the reasons why brand personality is so important in today's competitive environment, what brand personality is and some of the many ways to capture that personality visually.

Creativity tools pursue the generation of ideas which lead to innovations, new concepts and visions and control and improve work and creativity flows. To reach these goals, many different techniques have been developed to achieve most creative and most innovative results.
Sono analizzate alcune tecniche di brainstorming, una pratica in grado di offrire soluzioni innovative e altamente creative, spesso però utilizzata in ambito aziendale senza metodo e in maniera “distorta” tanto da divenire, in qualche caso, addirittura controproducente.
Le tecniche di brainstorming più note ed efficaci per:
- produrre idee, affrontare creativamente le criticità e creare soluzioni
- aumentare l'efficacia delle riunioni e delle sessioni creative
- aiutare il team ad affrontare le sfide dell'innovazione
- creare cruscotti snelli per misurare le performance e i processi
- migliorare i processi organizzativi
- sviluppare nuove idee di business.
Interprofessional working: Perceptions of healthcare professionals in Nepales...Bachchu Kailash Kaini

Ann Herrmann-Nehdi, CEO of Herrmann International, explores the connection between thinking preferences and different phases of the innovative and strategic thinking processes, discussing the implications for building skills in these areas.
Ideas have been the driving force of humanity. From a simple circular wheel carved from rock back in the stone ages to the first airplanes and telephones, innovative ideas have sparked off revolutionary changes in society. Now in this competitive world, ideas have become more important to us than actions. Companies have begun asking designers to generate solutions that meet the needs and desires of the consumer.
As such, there was a need to streamline and increase the efficiency of producing and sharing ideas within teams. This gave birth to several idea generation techniques, which allowed everyone to play a part in the creative process, a role allotted strictly to designers and engineers for the last few years.
Idea generation techniques meant anyone could participate in creating new ideas. It allowed people to share and build up on existing solutions, to foresee future problems, and essentially, to think big in terms of design. It brought different specializations together to create a more diverse think-tank that can tackle problems from several perspectives.
This report is divided into three parts.
First, we shall look into several idea generation techniques, both popular ones and the uncommon ones, question their uses and value by providing examples of products developed using the specific techniques.
Second, we discuss whether idea generation methods and techniques are important in coming up with new ideas? Are they the driving factor in generating ideas?
Lastly, we conclude with our personal view on idea generation techniques, along with stating which methods, if any, would we prefer to use.
Towards the end we aim to achieve a better understand of the creative thinking process as a whole and how to effectively solve all issues, design or otherwise.

Brainstorming: Thinking - Problem Solving StrategyIJERA Editor
Brainstorming is a popular tool that helps you generate creative answers to a problem. It is mainly useful when you want to break out of stale, established patterns of thinking, so that you can develop new ways of looking at things. The aforementioned also helps you overcome many of the concerns that can make collection problemsolving a sterile and substandard process. Though group brainstorming is often more effective at generating ideas than normal group problem-solving, study after study has revealed that when individuals brainstorm on their own, they come up with more ideas and often better quality ideas than groups of people who brainstorm together.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

India Orthopedic Devices Market: Unlocking Growth Secrets, Trends and Develop...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, “India Orthopedic Devices Market -Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030”, the India Orthopedic Devices Market stood at USD 1,280.54 Million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 7.84% in the forecast period, 2026-2030F. The India Orthopedic Devices Market is being driven by several factors. The most prominent ones include an increase in the elderly population, who are more prone to orthopedic conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Moreover, the rise in sports injuries and road accidents are also contributing to the demand for orthopedic devices. Advances in technology and the introduction of innovative implants and prosthetics have further propelled the market growth. Additionally, government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure and the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases have led to an upward trend in orthopedic surgeries, thereby fueling the market demand for these devices.
Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
2. Work is social!
One the earliest findings in social psychology was the
“social facilitation” effect – the way the mere presence
of other people engaged in the same task as us can
boost our motivation. In 1920,
social psychologist Floyd Allport showed that a group
of people working individually at the same table
performed better on a whole range of tasks even
though they weren’t cooperating or competing.
Allport’s research illustrates how the energy of other
people can act as a substitute team even if we’re
working solo (this is why many creatives enjoy working
at their local café surrounded by industrious strangers).
http://99u.com/articles/16850/everything-youve-ever-wanted-to-know-about-teams
3. Group Creativity?
Need for creativity is inversely proportional to how well
we understand the problem.
Well-understood problems => don’t need to be creative
Not well-understood problems => need creative solutions
Individuals perform better with well-understood
problems
Well-understood problem => individuals do better
Not well-understood problems => team are better
Previous research and thinking was that creativity is an
individual skill, however we increasingly work in teams.
http://www.wiley.com/college/dec/meredith298298/resources/addtopics/addtopic_s_01e.html
4. Group Creativity?
Creative output of more than one individual working
together on a common problem
Doesn’t imply involvement in all stages of the creative
process, though
It is everywhere!
Performing arts – theatre, movies, musicals, etc.
Organizational teams – product development,
Research teams
Classrooms
Increasingly interdisciplinary – biocomputing, social
technologies, human genome, space exploration, etc.,
etc.
http://www.helsinki.fi/sosiaalipsykologia/arkisto/nijstad2008.pdf
5. Advantages of group creativity
Groups bring together knowledge and skills not possessed by
any individual member of the group.
Groups are more effective than individuals in eliminating
errors and avoiding mistakes.
A group solution is more likely to be accepted by those who
must implement it than is the solution of an individual.
If the members of a group must act on evidence, it is likely
that they will be more productive and effective if they have
played a role in developing that evidence,
Group members learn from one another, stimulate one
another, and add to each other's knowledge and skills-that
is, synergism occurs.
http://www.wiley.com/college/dec/meredith298298/resources/addtopics/addtopic_s_01e.html
7. Major threats to team
creativity
Social loafing
Conformity
Production blocking
Downward norm setting
http://ww2.valdosta.edu/~mschnake/Thompson2003
8. Why aren’t groups creative?
Confirming to group norms
Lack of collaboration
Defensive communication climate
Differences in communication styles
Cultural norms
http://www.mhhe.com/socscience/comm/group/students/creativity.htm
9. Improving group creativity
Embrace diversity
Facilitate a supportive communication climate
Reward inventive and innovative creativity
Foster collaboration
Practice active listening

10. Group creativity techniques
Brainstorming
Delphi technique
Nominal group technique
Mind mapping
Affinity diagrams
Synectics (William Gordon, 1944)
Morphology (F. Zwicky, 1947)
Bionics
Storyboarding
11. Brainstorming
Alex Osborne wrote Applied Imagination (1953) and
claimed that brainstorming doubles the output.
His two key principles to “ideate efficacy”
Defer judgment
Go for quantity
Simple four-step process to reduce social inhibitions,
stimulate idea generation, and increase overall creativity of
the group:
Go for quantity
Withhold criticism
Welcome wild ideas
Combining / improving ideas encouraged

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainstorming#Osborn.27s_method
12. Brainstorming is dead?
Contrary to popular opinion, people generate fewer
good ideas when they brain storm together than they
work alone!
Reasons include
One or two people could dominate the conversation
While someone is sharing their idea, other might forget
theirs
Other social and sociological issues (hierarchy, peer
jealousy,
http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/01/30/groupthink
13. Brainwriting
Like brainstorming, but participants write down their
ideas individually instead of sharing it aloud
These papers are then passed around the group and
people read each other’s ideas while they continue to
write their own
Allows the group to share and build on each other’s
ideas and avoid the pitfalls of f2f brainstorming
https://www.fastcodesign.com/3062292/evidence/brainstorming-is-dumb
14. Brainwriting Study
In a study, brainwriters came up with 37% more ideas than
working alone.
Also found that brainwriting in groups and then
brainstorming alone was better than working alone and then
doing group brainwriting…but this solitary reflection should

asynchronous brainwriting—that is, switching multiple times
between group brainwriting and working alone…The
researchers found that the asynchronous method worked
much better—people who alternated techniques thought of .

15. 6-3-5 Brainwriting
Developed by Bernd Rohrbach who originally
published it in a German sales magazine,
the Absatzwirtschaft, in 1968
Moderator supervised with 6 participants
6 rounds. Each round
3 ideas per participant
5 minutes
After each round, pass on the sheet to person on your
right
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-3-5_Brainwriting
16. Pool Method
Each participant gets a form. Problem is written on form.
5 – 8 in group.
Each person writes three ideas at top and puts sheet in
center of table.
Participants take new sheet out of center pile and add to it.
No rounds. Put sheets back and get new sheets at own pace.
Process completed at end of pre-determined time (e.g. 30
min).
Sort ideas.

18. Delphi Technique
The Delphi method was originally conceived in the 1950s by
Olaf Helmer and Norman Dalkey of the Rand Corporation.
The Delphi method is a forecasting method based on the
results of questionnaires sent to a panel of experts.
Several rounds of questionnaires are sent out, and the
anonymous responses are aggregated and shared with the
group after each round.
The experts are allowed to adjust their answers in subsequent
rounds.
Since multiple rounds of questions are asked and the panel is
told what the group thinks as a whole, the Delphi method
seeks to reach the correct response through consensus.
More used in forecasting or decision-making in complex
problems, less in creativity par se.

19. Nominal Group Technique
A variant of brainwriting approach which combines
both individual as well as team approach
The process is led by a facilitator and involves:
Silent idea generation.
Round-robin presentation.
Idea clarification.
Voting and ranking.
Discussion of results.

20. Mindmap
A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize
information. A mind map is often created around a
single concept, drawn as an image in the center of a
blank landscape page, to which associated
representations of ideas such as images, words and
parts of words are added. Major ideas are connected
directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch
out from those.
Mind maps can be drawn by hand, either as "rough
notes" during a lecture, meeting or planning session,
for example, or as higher quality pictures when more
time is available.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_map
29. How mindmaps help?
Make ideas visible on paper quickly
Organize thoughts without friction
Share ideas before you forget them
Clear your mind to stay focused
Visual thinking

31. Storyboards
A storyboard is a sketch of how to organize a story and
a list of its contents.
A storyboard helps you:
Define the parameters of a story within available
resources and time
Organize and focus a story
Figure out what medium to use for each part of the story

32. Diversity
Role Engineers, managers, technicians, blue- and white-collar
production workers, and so on, all represent special viewpoints and
may be the source of unique contributions to problem solving.
Specialty Different areas of study have their individual ways of
thinking about and analyzing problems.
Age Contrary to popular mythology, there appears to be no
demonstrable relationship between age and creativity except, possibly,
in the held of mathematics. A mix of ages cannot hurt, and probably
helps.
Experience Experience with a problem tends to produce insight, but it
also tends to foster overconcern with real or imagined constraints.
Inexperienced but intelligent people may develop fresh approaches.
Education One must never confuse education with wisdom; but, like
experience, more is generally better than less.

33. Case Study: The Medici Effect
The people here participate in what seems like an almost
random combination of ideas. One conversation leads into
another, and it is difficult to guess what idea will come up
next.
There is another place just like Peter’s Café, but it is not in
the Azores. It is in our minds. It is a place where different
cultures, domains, and disciplines stream together toward a
single point. They connect, allowing for established concepts
to clash and combine, ultimately forming a multitude of
new, groundbreaking rules. This place, where the different
fields meet, is what I call the Intersection. And the
explosion of remarkable innovations that you find there is
what I call the Medici Effect.
The Medici Effect – Frans Johansson
34. Creativity
For an original idea to be creative, it must also have
some measure of relevance; it must be valuable.
Innovations must not only be valuable, they must also
be put to use by others in society.
Ultimately society decides whether an idea is both new
and valuable.
The Medici Effect – Frans Johansson
35. Associative Barriers
The mind follows the simplest path – a previous
association. Chains of association are efficient; they
allow us to move quickly from analysis to action.
Although chains of association have huge benefits, they
also carry costs. The inhibit our ability to think
broadly. We do not question assumptions as readily, we
jump to conclusions faster and create barriers to
alternate ways of thinking about a particular situation.
Researchers have long suspected that (these) associative
barriers are responsible for inhibiting creativity.
The Medici Effect – Frans Johansson
36. Help & Hinder
A person with high associative barriers will quickly
arrive at conclusions when confronted with a problem
since their thinking is more focused. He or she will
recall how the problem has been handled in the past,
or how others in similar situations solved it.
A person with low associative barriers may think to
connect ideas and concepts that have very little basis in
past experience, or that cannot easily be traced
logically. Therefore, such ideas are often met with
resistance and sentiments such as “if this is such a good
idea, someone else would have thought it it”
The Medici Effect – Frans Johansson
37. Making the barriers fall
Exposing to a range of cultures
Learn differently
Reverse the assumptions
Take multiple perspectives
The Medici Effect – Frans Johansson
38. The Intersection
Your best chance to innovate! Where different fields meet.
Break down barriers between fields.
The key difference between fields and an intersection of
fields lies in how concepts within them are combined. If you
operate within a field, you primarily are able to combine
concepts within that particular field, generating ideas that
evolve along a particular direction – what I call directional
ideas. When you step into the Intersection, you can
combine concepts between multiple fields, generating ideas
that leap in new directions – what I call intersectional ideas.
Stepping into the Intersection does not simply mean
combining two different concepts into a new idea…
Intersection represents a place that drastically increases the
chances for unusual combinations to occur.
The Medici Effect – Frans Johansson
39. Directional vs. Intersectional
Directional innovation improves a product in fairly
predictable steps, along a well-defined dimension.
Intersectional innovations change the world in leaps
along new directions.
Intersectional innovations also don’t require as much
expertize as directional innovation and can therefore be
executed by the people you least suspect.
The Medici Effect – Frans Johansson
40. Intersectional Innovations
They are surprising and fascinating
They take leaps in new dimensions
They open up entirely new fields
They provide a space for a person, team, or company to call
its own
They generate followers, which means the creators can
become leaders
They provide a source of directional innovation for years or
decades to come
They can affect the world in unprecedented ways
The Medici Effect – Frans Johansson
41. Major forces that are
Increasing Intersections
Movement of people
Convergence of science
Leap of computation
The Medici Effect – Frans Johansson
42. Finding combinations
By diversifying occupations
By interacting with diverse group of people
By going intersection hunting
The Medici Effect – Frans Johansson
43. Quantity or Quality?
Linus Pauling – The best way to get a good idea is to
have a lot of ideas.
The most successful innovators product and realize an
incredible number of ideas.
In any given field of creative activity, it is typical to find
that around 10% of the creators are responsible for
50% of the contributions.
Classical composers produced most of their
masterpieces during the same period when they
produced most of their failures.
The Medici Effect – Frans Johansson
44. Recap
The myth of “lone genius” is long over!
Teams are best suited to solve complex problems
However, teams are often victim of multiple social
issues of people working together
Creativity in groups can be improved by using
techniques like brainwriting and building a culture that
promotes diversity, among other things
In the next class, we shall take a look at the role of
leadership in creativity
