4. Design Thinking/Creative Thinking • Design thinking (or creative thinking) • is a process for practical, creative resolution of problems or issues that looks for an improved future result.  It is the essential ability to combine empathy, creativity and rationality to meet user needs and drive business success. • Unlike analytical thinking, • design thinking is a creative process based around the “building up” of ideas. Design thinking is a well thought approach towards solving a problem and hence doesn’t involve early judgments thus eliminating the fear of failure and encouraging maximum input and participation in the ideation and prototype phases. Outside the box thinking is encouraged in these earlier processes since this can often lead to creative solutions. • Thinking outside the box’ • is to think differently, unconventionally or from a new perspective.

What is Creativity? • An Ability. • A simple definition is that creativity is the ability to imagine or invent something new. • An Attitude. • Creativity is also an attitude: the ability to accept change and newness, a willingness to play with ideas and possibilities, a flexibility of outlook, the habit of enjoying the good, while looking for ways to improve it. • A Process. • Creative people work hard and continually to improve ideas and solutions, by making gradual alterations and refinements to their works.

8. Creative Methods • Evolution. • This is the method of incremental improvement. New ideas stem from other ideas, new solutions from previous ones, the new ones slightly improved over the old ones. • Synthesis. • With this method, two or more existing ideas are combined into a third, new idea. Combining the ideas of a magazine and an audio tape gives the idea of a magazine you can listen to, one useful for blind people or freeway commuters.

9. Creative Methods • Revolution. • Sometimes the best new idea is a completely different one, an marked change from the previous ones. • Reapplication. • Look at something old in a new way. Go beyond labels. Unfixate, remove prejudices, expectations and assumptions and discover how something can be reapplied. • Changing Direction. • Many creative breakthroughs occur when attention is shifted from one angle of a problem to another. This is sometimes called creative insight.

Creativity & Innovation • Creativity is typically used to refer to the act of producing new ideas, approaches or actions. • Innovation is the process of both generating and applying such creative ideas in some specific context. • In the context of an organization, therefore, the term innovation is often used to refer to the entire process by which an organization generates creative new ideas and converts them into novel, useful and viable. commercial products, services, and business practices. • The term creativity is reserved to apply specifically to the generation of novel ideas by individuals or groups, as a necessary step within the innovation process.
