Are We Creative Yet? (2nd ed.)

 

Contents

Chapter One: The Creative Environment
Chapter Two: Setting Your Personal Stage for Creativity
Chapter Three: Overcoming Barriers
Chapter Four: Taking Advantage of Variety
Chapter Five: Creative Ways to Creative Problem Solving
Chapter Six: Innovation, Applying Your Creative Ideas


Description

The purpose of this book is to explore aspects of creativity which are important to enhancing the creation and implementation of useful ideas. Though these aspects are expressed from the perspective of DuPont personnel primarily for other DuPont personnel, we hope (and believe) that much of what you see and read is applicable to fostering and enhancing creativity in other work environments and in personal situations as well.

We could have elected to present our message with words alone, but we wanted to engage the artistic (right) as well as the analytical (left) side of your brain by using drawings—and we wanted you to have some fun! We don’t think we could have found a better source of visual material than the genius of Bob Thaves as expressed through his creations “Frank” and his friend “Ernest.”

  • Description

    ACA's annual conferences provide a unique opportunity for individuals interested in creativity to exchange ideas and concerns and to cross-fertilize knowledge among diverse areas of expertise and experience. This volume presents articles based on a selection of the sessions presented at the 2001 ACA conference, Creative Odyssey: Mind, Body, Spirit. The articles are loosely grouped into three categories: theoretical approaches to creativity, creativity training, and creativity in practice. We hope that you find them informative and useful as you continue your exploration of the creative process.
