Creativity and Innovation are interesting concepts? In terms of Creativity and Innovation, what do we already know? What is it that already exists? What is new, or created, or innovated? What does it mean to be Creative or Innovative? Dr Phillip McIntyre (University of Newcastle) suggested to me that Creativity and Innovation actually operate under constraints. Rather than these constraints restricting processes, they are actually enablers of the Creative and Innovation processes. While my first instinct was to run as fast as I could in the opposite direction of, what I considered to be, a juxtaposed ideology, the more I ponder on Dr McIntyre’s “suggestion”, the more truth I find.
I feel the good Dr is correct.
ReplyDeleteAnd to extrapolate...what's the purpose of all this creativity and innovation if the idea never materialises.
The Commercialisation of the Innovation has some very clear constraints.
But Imagination isn't one of them...haha.
Great to work with everybody yesterday in our 'Intimate' workshop session at Scratchley's Restaurant.
Want to stare out a window and imagine?
There are no better windows in town!
