Ideating the Relevance of Creative Thinking and Innovation
Creativity can be perceived in many ways and I before had an entire different perception on the concept of creativity. It also depends on the perspective of the person on how/she views and values this idea. In my point of view, I always saw the term creativity as the ability to create, artistry on a specific field, as some may call it. I often associated this with doing sketches, designing, as well as crafts. Though my notion of creativity is not incorrect, I observed how it was approached differently by entrepreneurs inside the business world. The course of Creative Thinking and Innovation interactively tackles this and provided a lot of insights regarding it. I came to learn the similarities of the two, and that these concepts work hand in hand in order to develop inventive ideas.
The Untapped Potential of Creativity
As more entrepreneurial enterprises are being established today, we are slowly seeing the turning of a new leaf when it comes to the business industry. I believe that there is a repression in creativity in corporate organizations. More often than not the superiority often acts as more of a boss than a leader who should be motivating, as well as driving the team into success. Subduing creative thinking produces mindless workers with no means of thinking outside the box or being able to produce out of the ordinary ideas. These employees act of more as cash cows which can be detrimental to their development in their career. Creative thinking is what enforces change, it generates concepts and strategies which continually reshapes the way we do work. In present day, more people aspire to become entrepreneurs, a catalyst for change in the business world. Remodeling the business industry one step at a time, makes the world a better place to live in when you are running your business responsibly.
