Creative Thinking
Approaching work problems with an inventor’s eye
What is Creative Thinking?
Creative Thinking in the workplace means approaching problems as an inventor rather than a technician — asking not just how do we solve this? but are we solving the right problem? It includes brainstorming, prototyping, borrowing ideas from unrelated domains, and tolerating the messiness of not-yet-knowing as part of the creative process.
