           Creative Personas


Three Personas of the Digital Innovators With the increasing speed of changes, fierce competitions, and unprecedented uncertainty and ambiguity, creativity is the most wanted skill in the 21st century. But who are the innovators? Are innovators belong to a rare breed, or are innovators just among us and within us? With “VUCA” characteristics, what are important personas do digital innovators present today?

Creative Personality with Paradoxical Traits Creativity is the #1 needed skill now because digital is the age of innovation. The problem is that creativity cannot be taught, it’s not an ability which can be imposed by instruction, calculated via algorithms or practiced with linear thinking only. History teaches that those gifted with ingenuity don't need stimulating, while those without it are barren ground when it comes to original thinking. In fact, creative personality has some paradoxical traits. Creativity, originality, ingenuity, and insight need to be discovered by talented people on their own, although they cannot be completely taught, they can be developed and nurtured to reach the abundance of creativity.

Many Faces of Creativity Generally speaking, creativity means the thinking process to create novel ideas. More broadly, creativity may be more than or perhaps only tangentially related to the making of something new. Creativity is a specific way one or some human brains process information that results in unusual combinations of ideas, metaphors, applications, procedures, insights, and sometimes 'things'. Creativity seems to be a cluster of cognitive behaviors that may or may not result in a product and not necessarily a novel product. Or to put simply, there are many faces of creativity.

Five Traits of Innovators Creativity is #1 wanted quality for digital leaders and professionals nowadays, but where can you discover innovators? Do innovators belong to the rare breed or they are among us and within us? Why can innovators find more view spots than others? Why can innovators think differently by connecting unusual dots? What are the important traits of innovators?

Dare to Be Creative In order to move the organization/industry/society forward and step into the "VUCA" digital new normal. Creativity needs a problem to solve, and a creative mind needs a purpose. Business leaders must understand that not all of the stakeholders will move through the change curve at the same speed and they should convey a clear message and communicate relentlessly to inspire creativity and spark innovation.

The “Future of CIO” Blog has reached 2.8 million page views with about #5700th blog posting in 59+ different categories of leadership, management, strategy, digitalization, change/talent, etc. The “Digital Master” book series includes 27 books to share insight from the multidimensional digital lens and perceive the multi-faceted impact the digital era upon us is making to the businesses and society. The content richness is not for its own sake, but to convey the vision and share the wisdom. Blogging is not about writing, but about thinking and innovating the new ideas; it’s not just about WHAT to say, but about WHY to say, and HOW to say it. It reflects the color and shade of your thought patterns, and it indicates the peaks and curves of your thinking waves. Unlike pure entertainment, quality and professional content takes time for digesting, contemplation and engaging, and therefore, it takes time to attract the "hungry minds" and the "deep souls." It’s the journey to amplify diverse voices and deepen digital footprints, and it's the way to harness your innovative spirit.
