Defining Creativity
It's a funny thing to define “creativity.” It almost feels like putting a cloud in a box, drawing a hard boundary around some inherently intangible trait. In “Explaining Creativity: The Science of Human Innovation,” Keith Sawyer lists many reasons why it's important to study and explain creativity, and summarizes them to say “…it will lead to a more creative society, and will enhance the creative potential of our families, our workplaces, and our institutions.” I think I agree.
Creativity as a Skill
I mentioned three guiding questions that are helping me frame the problem and therefore my research. However, I also have a hunch about the solution, as well, which I’m thinking of as a guiding hypothesis, something I’m seeking to prove or disprove.
My working theory is that creativity is a skill that people and organizations can and should seek to intentionally practice.
