    Study Notes

    Creativity, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship

    • Creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship are interconnected concepts.
    • Creativity is the ability to create and innovate.
    • Innovation is the process of exploiting new ideas to create economic, social and environmental value.
    • The ability to create and innovate has been observed throughout history, although tools may change.
    • The past viewed creativity as a spiritual experience through a muse.
    • Today, nature's inspiration is considered in human creation, using many examples.
    • Creativity is a complex combination of nature and nurture.
    • Creativity, regardless of natural talent, is enhanced through practice and study.
    • Creativity supports businesses that seek novelty in consumer products, media, fashion, and travel.
    • Creativity is important for solving problems that do not have ready-made solutions.
    • Creativity is fundamental for progress.
    • Creativity is developed through systematic problem-solving and is not just an 'inspiration'.
    • Creative people are not necessarily born, but can be developed.
    • There are two contrasting views of creativity: the Elite View and the Developmental View.
    • The Elite view emphasizes creativity as rare and unteachable, and a lonely endeavor. The Developmental view sees creativity as available to all and learned through training and development.
    • The reality is that creativity is not exclusively for elite individuals and can be developed and applied in any situation.
    • The brain uses both sides.
    • Both sides of the brain work together, and the concept of a dominant left or right side is not accurate.
    • Different brain functions are lateralized (occurs on one or other side).
    • Later research demonstrates the brain is not as dichotomous as previously thought, and both sides work together.
    • Creativity is a process that humans can tap into.
    • The left hemisphere is better at processing language and logic. The right hemisphere is better at emotional aspects of language.
    • Understanding the different types of thinking can help for problem solving, decision making, team interactions, and communication.
    • A popular theory of improving teams is the whole-brain approach.
    • Whole brain thinking encompasses multiple perspectives within a team or group.
    • The goal of communication is to transmit an idea or to persuade, and success requires understanding the audience's mindset.
    • Creativity involves three components: domain-relevant skills, creative processes, and intrinsic task motivation.
    • Creativity is instrumental in the process of innovation, which is dependent on invention and commercialization.
    • Innovation entails making changes in existing methods, ideas, or products.
    • Innovation is the process by which new ideas are exploited to create economic, social and environmental value.
    • Innovation can be either disruptive or sustaining.
    • Disruptive innovations create a new value proposition for new markets.
    • Sustaining innovations make improvements or updates to existing products or markets.
    • Innovation requires invention that leads to a new product, service or process and can be for betterment to a current offering (e.g., a better way to perform a process) rather than a completely new invention.
    • Success hinges on the combination of creativity and effective commercialization.
    • Not all inventions or ideas are successful and commercialization is important for innovation.
    • Opportunities come from a combination of creative ideas and a perception of opportunity within a given context.
    • The identification of an opportunity is related to prior knowledge, education, work experience, enculturation, family and friends, and other factors.
    • Drucker's Opportunity Scan discusses external and internal factors that determine opportunities.
    • The attributes of creative thinking include flexibility, originality, and non-judgmental consideration of potential solutions.
    • The process of creativity has several distinct stages: preparation, incubation, insight, evaluation and elaboration.
    • Fear, risk, convention, self-doubt, and fear of failure are barriers to business creativity.

    De Bono's Six Thinking Hats

    • De Bono's model uses six "thinking hats" as a technique for problem-solving.
    • Each hat represents a different type of thought process.
    • The six hats are White, Red, Black, Yellow, Green, and Blue.
    • The hats help to ensure both positive and negative considerations are incorporated in decision making and problem-solving.
    • The process of creativity has several distinct stages, such as generating knowledge, incubation, idea generation, evaluation and implementation, based on De Bono's methods.

    Example Creative Problem Solving Steps

    • The process of creative problem-solving uses multiple mindsets (i.e. Explorer, Detective, Judge and Producer).
    • The example includes stages of problem definition, idea generation, idea synthesis, idea judgement and solution implementation.

    Other Points

    • Creativity can be a problem-solving process.
    • Creativity can improve team interaction.
    • The three components of creativity are relevant skills, creative processes, and intrinsic task motivation.
    • Problems can lead to opportunities.
