On defining #creativity @rexjung :

Distinct from #intelligence – a superhighway; #creativity as a slow meandering process down dirt road / side road

Must be both #novel and @useful – beyond simple #utility – something #new within a social context. Unexpected links ✨🤓✨

On ineffective #brainstorming methods
–– and one of the many reasons why we dislike "open plan" offices ––:

New ideas and social conformity #groupthink do not mix

#teams #holacracy #innovation #disruption #futuresthinking #problemsolving

On #transdisciplinary futures:

Stovepipe /ˈstəʊvpʌɪp/ – isolated vertical conduit

Stovepiped
Having too narrow a field of view really stifles #creativity

On how to induce #creativity :

#recess at school, #quiettime #bathtime #downtime #exercise
A workspace for you to meander around and put ideas togethers

On thinking differently about #creativity
–– emphasising the #influencing & #adapting specialisations in the #globalMBA degree ––:

"It's not just going to be a #product... an artifact... It's going to be ✨moving✨ groups of people together and ✨motivating✨ groups of people"

On capturing and maximising #creativity as we age:

Co-opt #TransientHyperfrontality (aka creativity) from mid-40s onwards when de-myelinating starts downward trajectory

On #creativity and #wisdom :

Wisdom
"back and forth between the frontal lobes [logic, order] and transient hyperfrontality [unstructured, downtime, play] and lots of disappointments + successes + compromises.. solved lots of problems in your life successfully"
