What were your take-aways from this week’s reading?
My Take-Aways: Part I
Creativity resume is like the name-tag exercise. It was designed to demonstrate: • The opportunity for creative problem solving is
everywhere.• It starts with looking at a common thing we take
for granted and reimagining it from the ground up.• It starts with asking questions: “what is this for””
“what else could it be for?” “What are all the ways I can re-think/re-imagine it.”
My Take-Aways: Part II
“The biggest failures of our lives are not failures of execution but failures of imagination” (Tina Seelig)
“We are all inventors of the future” (Allan Kay)
My Take-Aways: Part III
The frontal lobe shuts down during creative moments – when we are in “the flow” – so that we aren’t so judgmental – and self conscious.
Creativity is enhanced via:• Observation• Connection/combination• Challenging assumptions• Reframing problems
• Why might we want to spend time reframing a challenge?
• How do know if we are solving the proper challenge?
• What is a process for reframing a challenge.
LEARNING AGENDA
“If I had an hour to solve a problem, and my life depended on it, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than 5 minutes.”
How do we determine the proper question?
1. Start with a wishI wish….It would be great if….
2. Gather dataWho…what…when….where….why….how….etc.
3. Restate the problem in as many ways as possible.How toHow mightWhat are all the ways to….
