What is Creativity?

To prepare for this discussion, read the Introduction: Creativity: It’s Not Just for Hippies Anymore and Chapter 1: Defining Creativity from the Plucker (2017) text and watch the video Where Good Ideas Come From (Johnson, 2010). https://www.ted.com/talks/steven_johnson_where_good_ideas_come_from

Please review Table 1.1: The Evolution of Definitions of Creativity on page 17 of the Plucker (2017) text.

By Day 3 (First Part - Separate Page)

  • Choose one definition of creativity that appear in Table 1.1 on page 17 of the Plucker (2017) text.
  • Write the Creativity Is… definition of your choice from Table 1.1 at the top of your post to serve as a heading and to create a discussion thread. Provide in your post, in a minimum of 250 words, a specific example that demonstrates the definition, citing relevant sources. If someone has already created a thread using the definition heading of your choice, do not create a new thread; instead, post your example under the extant thread. Support your definition with at least one scholarly resource.
  • Examples cannot be duplicated, so if someone posts before you with an example you were thinking about, you need to come up with something else.

By Day 5 (Second Part - Separate page)

  • Examine the Creativity Is… thread headings and the associated examples posted under each definition.
  • Select three examples, derived from anywhere within the discussion.
  • For each example you have selected, choose a different Creativity Is… heading that you think it demonstrates. Thus, you are rethinking how an example can fit under multiple headings.
  • Copy the original example you have chosen. Paste it under the new headings you have chosen. Thus, you will copy three of your colleagues’ examples and paste them under three new headings.(Will get the three colleagues' examples to you ASAP).

Creativity is producing ideas that are original and appropriate to achieve a goal. Places
that are open to creativity-technical, cultural, economic, reflects an underlying development that
favors, the kind of risk taking that favors entrepreneurship (Plucker, J. A. (Ed.). An example
demonstrating how idea that are original and appropriate to achieve a goal would be how
organizations are embracing creativity in the work force as these new ideas spark innovation,
thus creativity within a team becomes a vital skill. Creativity is not an aptitude thus everyone has
it, this type of organizations create innovative ideas that help in streamlining the organization. If
a competitor seeks to copy what is being done then they just change tactics, they embrace further
creative ideas that help them standout. Creativity and innovation being necessary skill sets that
are capable of making an organization stay ahead of a changing market place and competition.
The more creativity and show of innovation you and your team members have, the more
likely you are in achieving long-term success. So instead of having to “the next big idea” in your
industry, or settle for mediocrity, bring creative and innovative in what you’re currently doing
will set the bar for every other competitor thereof. In doing this, you’ll be then regarded as an
industry innovator: the one your competitors are trying to copy. An established idea sharing
program is an effective way to tap into a team’s valuable feedback. When executives consider
the frontline employees perspectives, they see benefits. Setting up a timeline for idea sharing
process gives employees the necessary platform to share their thoughts.
