Creative problem solving ssv

Editor's Notes

• #2: To help you make decisions, solve problems, and use your creativity to change the way you think and solve everyday problem. Truth is creative ideas do not suddenly appear in people's minds for no apparent reason. Rather, they are the result of trying to solve a specific problem or to achieve a particular goal. 
• #4: Take a minute and write down a few of your first impressions when you see or hear the word Creativity. Most people can readily come up with informal definitions of creativity. They often associate creativity with words such as new, unusual, ideas, out of the ordinary, imagination, unique, exciting, wacky, open, fuzzy, or something radically different. It is common for them to relate creativity to the arts: composing or performing plays, making great sculpture, the paintings of the masters, writing great literature, composing and performing music, and the like. It’s a word that often has a great deal of positive power and energy associated with it, within and across cultures. On the other hand, it is unusual for people to associate creativity with words such as usefulness, value, and purposeful. When we probe further, we find that some people often perceive creativity as something not very worthwhile, and in some cases, even as something quite negative.
• #5: H δημιουργικότητα είναι μια εξίσωση (ανθρώπινη λειτουργία ή δεξιότητα καλύτερα ) που βασίζετε στη γνώσης, τη φαντασία και την αξιολόγηση των πραγμάτων, αντανακλώντας πάντα στη προσωπική στάση του καθενός στο πώς την αντιμετωπίζει και τη χρησιμοποιεί. Είτε θετικά, είτε αρνητικά ή στο θέμα μας είτε για να λύσει ένα πρόβλημα, είτε για να δημιουργήσει ένα πρόβλημα . You might learn a number of lessons from Noller’s equation. One is that creativity is a dynamic concept. It changes through our experience. Always occurs in some context or domain of knowledge. But, while expertise is important and necessary, it is not sufficient for determining creativity. Finally, creativity involves a dynamic balance between imagination and evaluation. Why we here. To solve problems. Business nowadays are looking for problem solvers.
• #7: How people show the creativity they have? What is the characteristics we observe in these people.
• #8: How come a lot of come to situations like this one? It is only natural to have some resistance to novelty. Novelty requires you to change the approach, behavior, or way of thinking. It requires new learning and may increase the possibility of failure. Your internal climate is most likely formed as a result of some interaction between who you are and the environment or situation in which you operate. One of the ways to reduce the effects of blocks and barriers is to increase the likelihood of developing your strengths.
• #9: What are the organization characteristics you think they put barriers to creativity? Organizational characteristics that put barriers to creativity are inappropriate reward systems being overly bureaucratic, lack of cooperation across functions, lack of freedom in deciding what to do or how to approach a task or problem, perceived apathy toward task accomplishment, poor project management, perceived inappropriate evaluation systems, insufficient resources, insufficient time, and emphasis on the status quo
• #10: Provide freedom to try new ways of performing tasks; allow and encourage each individual to achieve success in an area and in a way possible for him or her; encourage divergent approaches by providing resources and room rather than controls and limitations. Point out the value of individual differences, styles, and points of view by permitting the activities, tasks, or other means to be different for various individuals. Establish an open, safe atmosphere by supporting and reinforcing unusual ideas and responses of individuals when engaged in both creative/exploratory and critical/developmental thinking. Build a feeling of individual control over what is to be done and how it might best be done by encouraging individuals to have choices and involving them in goal setting and decision-making processes. Support the learning and application of specific CPS tools and skills in the workplace and on tasks that are appropriate. Provide an appropriate amount of time for the accomplishment of tasks; provide the right amount of work in a realistic time frame. Provide a no punitive environment by communicating that you have confidence in the individuals with whom you work. Reduce concern of failure by using mistakes as positives to help individuals realize errors and meet acceptable standards and provide affirmative feedback and judgment. Recognize some previously unrecognized and unused potential. Challenge individuals to solve problems and work on new tasks in new ways. Ask provocative questions. Respect an individual’s need to work alone or in groups. Encourage selfinitiated projects. Tolerate complexity and disorder, at least for a period. Even the best organization and planning requires clear goals and some degree of flexibility Create a climate of mutual respect and acceptance among individuals so that they will share, develop, and learn cooperatively. Encourage a feeling of interpersonal trust and teamwork. Encourage a high quality of interpersonal relationships and be aware of factors such as a spirit of cooperation, open confrontation and resolution of conflicts, and the encouragement of expression of ideas.
• #11: In the mid 1940’s, Gestalt psychologist Karl Duncker devised a performance test intended to measure an individual’s problem solving capabilities in relation to functional fixedness. In psychology, functional fixedness is defined as a mental bias an individual has towards an object and its uses. Thus, Karl Duncker sought to analyze how cognitive bias towards certain objects affected problem-solving performance. The proposition was simple. The subject was given three key items: a candle, a book of matches, and a box of thumbtacks. Using these items, the goal was to position the candle in a way that, while lit, no wax would touch the ground. http://2012e.igem.org/Team:Arizona_State_E/Candle
• #14: In some situations, people associate problem solving with overcoming a difficulty or avoiding some sort of pain. They focus their attention on the word problem and perceive it as a bad thing or something to be removed. However, in other situations, people associate problem solving with words such as logic, analysis, structure, closing a gap, meeting a need, overcoming difficulties, making something work better, mathematics, and science. We take the stance that problem solving is a process of closing the gap between what is and what is desired. It is the act of answering questions, clearing up uncertainties, or explaining something that was not previously understood. You engage in problem solving while conducting day-to-day activities such as adding up grocery totals or figuring out how to find a particular building, office, or product.
• #16: After the first iteration ask the audience what do they suggest the team to improve! Play next round in batches of 5. Third in batches of 20 with right hand.
• #19: We say that this is about a creative approach to problem solving. What does that mean? An approach is simply the way you move toward, advance, or come closer to something. In the context of this book, an approach is a way of making change happen. There are at least two different kinds of approaches to making change happen; creative and non-creative. A creative approach implies that you are attempting to advance toward an outcome that is new, unstructured, and open ended. These situations often involve an ill-structured problem and unknown solutions. Although you 20 ✦ CREATIVE APPROACHES TO PROBLEM SOLVINGneed to use your knowledge and skills for evaluation, a creative approach requires you to engage your imagination, as well as your intelligence, during your approach because no ready-made answer exists. It also requires you to take a more comprehensive view and use the entire system of people, method, content, and context in the approach.
