Science's understanding of the creative process is much more thorough than people might believe. This is the full version of of lecture on how the creative process is currently modeled and told through a series of stupid pictures.
For many years and decades, the idea of the lonely genius coming up with a great idea due to a sudden insight has been a compelling tale. Senior scientists, project managers, entrepreneurs and political leaders tell the world a story of brilliant ideas, going against current establishment, and finally making the world kneel before them. But reality shows that this is by no means true. This work will present some of the most typical creativity myths, and how teamwork and pluridisciplinarity become critical in a complex world like the one we live today.
Innovation. It's the heartbeat of today's economy. It's also where meeting professionals need to focus their attention, time and resources to compete in the meetings marketplace.
Average meetings are planned by average meeting professionals. Yet, most conference attendees don't want to pay for an average conference. They want a unique experience.

Innovator's DNA - What makes top leaders innovation gurus? Unlock your innova...vedsta87
The Innovator's DNA - based on research conducted in the groundbreaking book by innovation gurus Jeff Dyer, Hal Gregerson and Clayton Christensen - unlocks the mystery behind the great leaders of innovative companies. What makes them tick? Surprisingly, we find that top innovative leaders share similar behavioral traits. They are questioners, experimenters, networkers - these behaviors drive their ability to be innovative.
Innovators are not "born with it" - research shows that only general intelligence is genetic, but creativity can be learned.
So then the question is: what about you? How can you train yourself to become an innovative leader, and flex your innovative muscles?
We provide the answers with the Innovator's DNA workshop and assessment program. Visit our website or the innovators dna site, or buy the book today. Our program trains leaders, teams, executives and senior managers to understand what drives innovation within them - and how to bring it out more regularly.

"What people say is not what people do" - Cheskin
There has been a lot of hot air about "getting out of the building", and "just go talk to customers", but rarely are those statements backed up with strategic and tactical advice about HOW and WHY. Well, this talk is meant to help. Honestly, getting out of the building and talking to customers is only valuable when done right. As my old martial arts sensei used to say, "practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect!"
Design Ethnography is usually conducted to gain a *deep* understanding of the our target customers in order to apply a customer-centered approach to the product strategy. Design ethnography takes the position than human behavior and the ways in which people construct and make meaning of their worlds and their lives are highly variable, locally specific as well as intersubjectively reflexive.
One primary difference between ethnography and other methods of user research is that ethnography assumes that we must first discover what people actually do, the reasons they give for doing it, and just as importantly, how they feel while doing it, before we can assign to their actions and behaviors interpretations drawn from our own experiences.
Many people believe that design ethnography is only viable in the context of "Big Upfront Design", while many Agile and Lean teams believe they simply don't have the time, or that big upfront design is synonymous with waste. During this talk, we'll explore various myths, methods of ethnography, and ways in which agile or lean teams may use it to gain deeper insights into customer behaviors to create richer experiences without waste.
Questions I may answer in this talk:
What is design ethnography?
What are some of the qualitative and quantitative methods?
Isn't Design Ethnography and LeanUX contradictory?
When and where is design ethnography appropriate for teams?
Is Design Ethnography appropriate only with Big Upfront Design Research?
How can teams use Design Ethnography for sense-making?
What are the practical steps for engaging in design ethnography tomorrow?

Creativity isn't a discipline for just designers. Ideas and creativity should come from everyone regardless of their role. Creativity can be taught and I've been heavily inspired by Tina Seelig and Tony Schwartz's presentations at the 2013 Behance ideas conference. They both provided jaw-dropping looks into how they see the creative process, which I will never look at the same way again.
That journey inspired me to prepare this presentation which is my attempt at teaching and spreading this infectious process to others who might not understand how creativity works or can find use from such information.
Unique solutions come from innovative problem solving. Having a framework is critical.
Insight. First find and define the problem.
Saturation. This is the information gathering phase chock full of research. Most designers hate this phase because it isn’t “creative” in their mind. From my perspective, the designers I respect most are all about saturating themselves in data and inspiration.
Incubation. This is where you walk away from ideas and thinking altogether, which Schwartz refers to as “thinking aside.” He explains that when you shut your mind off, your brain is able to spark the best creativity, which is why ideas pop in your head during a shower, while walking in nature or when you are dreaming. This is often an area I totally ignored since I’ve never really had the luxury of time, but one I’ll be looking to learn and apply in my ever-changing creative process.
Illumination. This is one step we are likely all familiar with. The infamous a-ha moment that stops you in your tracks.
Verification. This is the point where things start coming together; the part where you make it real. This part reminds me of the great scientists of history having an idea, testing it and learning from it.
Learn, modify and repeat. That being said, creativity isn’t supposed to be easy, as Cal Newport points out, it takes a level of deep work and focused intent to develop skills and solve problems. Malcolm Gladwell talked about 10,000 hours being the time it takes to master a task. Nonetheless, we have scientific data to back how the brain learns things.
Ideas are nothing without execution.

How Do The Classic “7PS” Of Marketing Stack Up In The Era Of Social Media?
Back in the 1960s, marketing guru E. Jerome McCarthy introduced the “4Ps” of marketing to drive revenue growth: product, price, promotion, and place. That formula was later expanded to “7Ps,” and while they remain a sound starting point for any organization analyzing its growth strategy, the rules for implementing them have changed.
Digital communication technologies are altering consumer behavior in ways McCarthy and his adherents could never have imagined. Here’s my own take on three new pieces of the puzzle that every growth-minded company needs to bear in mind.

10 Paradoxical Traits of Creative PeopleFaisal Hoque
It is safe to say that more and more entrepreneurs are artists, and artists of all kinds are entrepreneurs. The trend is only on the rise as all things (art, science, technology, business, culture, spirituality) are increasingly converging. Creativity is the common theme that drives both entrepreneurs and artists alike. But creative people are often also paradoxical. Creative people are humble and proud. Creative people tend to be both extroverted and introverted. Creative people are rebellious and conservative. How creative are you?

Creative Living: License to be You with ADHDOse Schwab
‘The key question isn't “What fosters creativity?" But it is why in God's name isn't everyone creative? Where was the human potential lost? How was it crippled? I think therefore a good question might be not why do people create? But why do people not create or innovate? We have got to abandon that sense of amazement in the face of creativity, as if it were a miracle if anybody created anything.’ – Abraham Maslow
Is Maslow’s assumption that all people can create correct? If so, what keeps individuals from being creative? These questions will be addressed in this teleclass through the insights from thought leaders in business, education, the arts, coaching, science. Participants will learn what creativity is and how to engage it. They will gain understanding of the role it plays in a variety of processes critical to personal growth, resilience, and innovation. This understanding, enhanced by examples of creative expressions, will spur on participants to invite innovation into daily life. In so doing, a license will be granted them to transcend the limits of judgment enough to explore and act upon their true self with or without ADHD.
We all have heard the word, innovation. Everyone is talking about it like a commodity.
樂 But what is innovation, really? How do we unfold the meaning of this popular yet abstract word? What makes a successful innovator?
If there is a secret ingredient for innovation, don't you want to know it?
Come and join us to discover some answers to these questions in this engaging and inspiring talk.
In this presentation you'll learn:
The core elements of innovation
Tools to guide your innovation journey
Practical examples innovators have used in the history of innovation
The SECRET ingredient to innovate
A workshop given to elementary school teachers about using creative and critical thinking in the elementary school classroom. Strategies, definitions, and tools are provided.
"Control is not leadership; management is not leadership; leadership is leadership. If you seek to lead, invest at least 50% of your time in leading yourself—your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20% leading those with authority over you and 15% leading your peers."
On 19 June 2012 at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, Landor CEO Mary Zalla gave two workshops to packed crowds on how to creatively sell creative work.
We all work hard to produce creative and, ideally, effective solutions. But we often don’t pay as much attention to how we share those solutions.
Getting the best and the most creative work produced is not just about selling. It is about inspiring your audience to see potential.
The first thing we need to do is to truly understand our audiences, empathize with them and their situation. We then need to have a few things at our disposal:
• Appreciation for the power of story versus plain facts
• Understanding of the confirmation bias
• Courage versus daring
• Awareness of the Asch Effect
• Fortitude and determination
Check out the deck from Mary’s Cannes presentation and read her article on a similar topic, “ Eight principles of creativity.”
In an ever changing economic environment, it is essential that analysts demonstrate added value by developing creative and imaginative solutions to our everyday business challenges. Creativity, as the root of innovation needs to be nurtured and encouraged in any business, yet it is all too often neglected. It is true that some analysts are naturally more creative than others, however there are tools and techniques that can be learned and practiced by all analysts that will drive out better business solutions when applied. This thought provoking and interactive session will explore a range of creative techniques and methods of ensuring that the most suitable innovation is achieved as a result, arming delegates with tools, approaches and a re-invigorated creative outlook to take back to the workplace.
This comprehensive program covers essential aspects of performance marketing, growth strategies, and tactics, such as search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, content marketing, social media marketing, and more
