The ability to create new things using skill and imagination

The ultimate goal of human life, achieved by finding meaning and purpose

Basic human needs for survival (food, water, shelter).

Needs for physical and financial security (health, stable job).

Need for social connections (friends, family, community).

Creativity is vital for innovation in the workplace and impacts individual happiness & company success

Businesses gain a competitive advantage through nurturing innovation and valuing creative thinking.

Happiness involves finding meaning beyond material wealth

These needs relate to feeling valued and capable. They are about self-respect, confidence, achievement, and recognition from others. Meeting these needs leads to feelings of accomplishment and self-worth.

This is the highest level of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. It's about pursuing personal growth, creativity, and realizing one's full potential. People at this level want to achieve personal goals and make a meaningful contribution to the world.

A state of complete immersion in an activity, characterized by a perfect balance between challenge and skill. It leads to intense focus, a loss of self-consciousness, and immense satisfaction.

In flow, time seems to disappear because we are so absorbed in the activity.

Flow occurs when the challenge of an activity matches our skill level. It's not too easy or too hard.

Flow provides intense satisfaction because we are pushing our limits and achieving meaningful results.

People who experience flow often find it motivates them to be creative. They are intrinsically driven to create and innovate.

Flow often arises from intrinsic motivation, meaning we are driven by the enjoyment of the activity itself, not external rewards.

Creativity experienced personally, driven by individual meaning and interpretation. It's about finding new ways to solve problems or express yourself in a unique way.

Everyday creativity recognized by others, often in routine tasks, but not necessarily groundbreaking. It's about finding practical solutions or adding a personal touch.

Professional-level creativity recognized within a specific field, often involving expertise and contributions to a professional area.

Groundbreaking, paradigm-shifting creativity that has a profound impact on society. It's often associated with major contributions in science, culture, or the arts.

True happiness comes from fulfilling, extraordinary experiences that provide a sense of accomplishment and align with one's potential. This is similar to Maslow's concept of self-actualization.

Creativity is essential for innovation, which is the key to growth and success in the business world.

The 4C model identifies four levels of creativity: mini-c, little-c, pro-c, and Big-c.

Mini-c is personal and meaningful, while little-c is recognized by others but may not be groundbreaking. Mini-c focuses on individual interpretation, while little-c is more about practical solutions.

A framework helping organizations understand how to nurture creativity and innovation.

Teams are crucial for idea generation and fostering a company's innovative capacity.

Problem-solving skills, analytical abilities, risk-taking, personality traits, and teamwork preferences all contribute to individual creativity.

The project's importance, team composition, and company culture's attitude towards innovation shape a group's creative output.

Smaller teams have more autonomy, communication, and individual contribution, leading to higher creativity. Larger teams offer diverse skill sets and perspectives for more innovative solutions.

Supportive, open-minded, and risk-taking leaders empower teams to think creatively and generate new ideas. Overly controlling leaders might hinder innovation.

A diverse range of personalities, skills, and experiences within a group fosters a variety of viewpoints and ideas, boosting creativity.

Creativity at the individual level and within teams impacts the overall organizational creativity.
