everybody not just a select fewrdquo~ Sir Ken Robinson ~

the creative challenge

ldquoNo problem can be solved

from the same

consciousness that created

itrdquo

(Albert Einstein)

linear thinking

associational thinking

creativity is just connecting things

ldquoWhen you ask creative people

how they did something they

feel a little guilty because they

didnrsquot really do much they

just saw something It seemed

obvious to them after a while

Thatrsquos because they were able

to connect experiences theyrsquove

had and synthesise new

thingsrdquo (Steve Jobs)

associational thinking

ldquoAssociatingrdquo is the ability to make surprising connections across seemingly unrelated areas of knowledge and experience

Innovators actively build the breadth and depth of their connection points by

bull asking curious questions

their routine thinking
