This is the origin of the saying “think outside the box”! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f947876b110fb61d20cfa67/2f3a7d6f-6888-4ff8-bab7-3b107aeabd5b/9dpp-2.png Blog - fundamentals of creativity and the power of the crowd…. - The Task: Draw four straight lines without the pen leaving the page, so that the lines go through every dot Scroll down for the solution…. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f947876b110fb61d20cfa67/1639061005317-533DPW47LU5WGG2PHKQ0/unsplash-image-F3ig12CrnGo.jpg Blog - fundamentals of creativity and the power of the crowd…. - Make it stand out Don’t jump straight to idea generation, or to the first solution you can think of, explore first! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f947876b110fb61d20cfa67/1638450747450-SGVS94Q3MXMMH9P4X1UY/unsplash-image-t3d22GqvUqs.jpg Blog - fundamentals of creativity and the power of the crowd…. - Explorative creativity is important in the front end of innovation and divergent thinking is a key skill. Children are incredibly good at divergent thinking. In the book ‘Breakpoint and Beyond: Mastering the Future Today, by George Land and Beth Jarman’. 1,500 people were tested as kindergartners, and 98 percent of the study's subjects scored at the genius level in divergent thinking. When they were ten, 32 percent of the same group scored as high, and by age fifteen, only 10 percent. When 200,000 adults were given the same test, only two percent tested at the genius level. Therefore nearly everyone is born creative we just need to rediscover our childhood creativity! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f947876b110fb61d20cfa67/1639064778937-76SYGKMXL8L315TAMRUD/unsplash-image-PCNdauVPbjA.jpg Blog - fundamentals of creativity and the power of the crowd…. - Make it stand out Creativity is like two separate paths coming together in the mind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f947876b110fb61d20cfa67/1639060091206-MA6SBBSKUFK3AI5P3OTX/unsplash-image-AF6N3WRsyk4.jpg Blog - fundamentals of creativity and the power of the crowd…. - Make it stand out A diverse group of people helps to expand your technology database, differences in thinking need to be embraced. https://newhorizoninnovation.com/blog/category/Innovation monthly 0.5 https://newhorizoninnovation.com/blog/category/Crowdsearching monthly 0.5 https://newhorizoninnovation.com/blog/category/Creativity monthly 0.5 https://newhorizoninnovation.com/blog/category/Ideas monthly 0.5 https://newhorizoninnovation.com/blog/tag/innovation monthly 0.5 https://newhorizoninnovation.com/blog/tag/divergent+thinking monthly 0.5 https://newhorizoninnovation.com/blog/tag/ideas monthly 0.5 https://newhorizoninnovation.com/blog/tag/creativity monthly 0.5 https://newhorizoninnovation.com/blog/tag/crowdsearching monthly 0.5 https://newhorizoninnovation.com/blog/tag/explorative+creativity monthly 0.5 https://newhorizoninnovation.com/blog/tag/problems monthly 0.5 https://newhorizoninnovation.com/education daily 0.75 2021-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f947876b110fb61d20cfa67/1605185396883-7DRCBBKFCBRLRLIYXUB7/image-asset.jpeg Education - Working with Schools Through the practical application of innovation to real world problems we bring education to life.
