| Creativity and
Innovation |
| What we are
talking about here… |
Creativity is a human activity involved
in generating new ideas.
Innovation is the process of taking an idea and turning it into reality. |
| Why it is important… |
| The only way an organisation or group
or individual stays "one step ahead" is by not
only working harder but often by working "smarter" -
doing the same thing as everybody else more efficiently,
effectively or creatively. |
| What you need
to know… |
Creative thinking is something all
people do - not just people who are "creative".
We can all be "creative" - we just need to acknowledge the fact!
Creative thinking is about thinking "outside of the box - thinking the same
thing as everyone else, but thinking something different!
Innovation is about taking new ideas and making them happen. |
| The next steps... |
Believe you are a "creative thinker" -
because you are!
Believe you can have good ideas and lot's of them.
Believe you can turn those ideas into action.
Be a "Yes and..." person not a "Yes but..." person.
Refuse to believe any negativity in you that say's "I can't..." - if
you think it - you can probably do it - but make sure it is the right thing for
you to be doing first! |
