Creative thinking is the ability to come up with unique, original solutions. Also known as creative problem-solving, creative thinking is a valuable and marketable soft life skill in a wide variety of careers.
Innovation is the ability to come up with something new; however, you don’t need to develop the first flying car to be an innovative thinker. “Something new” at work might mean a method you haven’t tried before or experimenting with an unfamiliar process. Innovators in the workplace aren’t afraid to step away from tradition and explore something original, even if it might fail.
Innovation skills include:
- Risk-taking
- Brainstorming
- Imagining
- Critical thinking
- Ambition
- Resilience
“The ability to navigate new challenges quickly can benefit any workplace!” she says. “The current world of work is fast-paced, technically driven, and constantly changing. Being intuitive, creative, driven, and a problem solver are key.”
Many of the complex challenges that we face in development and social enterprise could benefit from fresh thinking and a more imaginative approach. Bringing people together to focus on thinking differently about a specific problem can help to achieve new breakthroughs, or at least understand the elements of the issue in more detail. A Creative Workshop is a tool that can be used to enable this process of collaborative innovation.
A Creative Workshop can also improve your credibility, and that of your organisation, by demonstrating that you value input from other stakeholders, and that you are fair, ethical and transparent.
