\nCreative thinking is the ultimate human adva ntage. It’s how we use our brainpower to think differently\, generate idea s\, and create new from old. We use creative thinking to solve complex pro blems\, challenge the status quo\, and envision a brighter future. It is a vital business tool with which to find solutions to change and uncertaint y.

Without creative thinking\, there would be no innovation or adv ancement.

But too often our educational systems\, our business str uctures\, and our socio-political cultures stifle creativity. Have you eve r experienced rote learning? Or boring\, repetitive tasks? Or a don’t-rock -the-boat culture where only narrow-focused thinking is encouraged in silo s?

\n

Many people think they’re not creative because they don’t paint or write or act or sing. The truth is all of us can access creative think ing capabilities that can unleash the power of creativity.
