Many think there is no innovation without inclusiveness. The most advanced societies are diverse mixtures of peoples that can spark creativity and amplify innovation.



All humans are born with raw creativity ability. Creativity has many dimensions, with multi-faceted truth and myth, manifold knowledge, and multidimensional insight.

                           Creativity and Inclusiveness 


Creativity and Anthropology Anthropology provides a holistic perspective of digging into the dynamic human interrelationship. Anthropology helps people understand and enliven the varied social contexts and cultural scenarios in a better way. Anthropology presents every aspect of human life and elucidates the cultural traits, complexes, and motives of specific human behavioral aspects. Anthropology helps us connect the wider dots to spark creativity, and creativity will add enriched content and unconventional wisdom to anthropology as the knowledge domain, they mutually reinforce each other.

Innovation vs. Inclusiveness Creativity is innate with many special ingredients; creativity can be developed if the conditions are right and there is inspiration, inclusiveness, encouragement, and abundance of knowledge. Innovation is then the management discipline to transform those novel ideas and achieve their business value. Many think there is no innovation without inclusiveness. The most advanced societies are diverse mixtures of peoples that can spark creativity and amplify innovation. So, how to involve people with different talents in creative thinking and actions? And how can you help to improve the harvest of the creative seed and accelerate the advancement of the society?

Is Creativity only Achieved via Diversity The world is hyper-connected, there's nothing in the universe that exists in isolation from everything else, and certainly not a culture in particular? Cultures, as a collective mindset and habit, are mainly shaped by the “mainstream” mindset at the particular time and need to be reprogrammed when it lags the era we live in, only creative and transformative leadership can make such a shift. Culture is like the soil, the key factor to spur the seed of creativity. But what is the real engine of creativity? Is creativity only achieved via diversity? Should diversity mean more about the color of characters and the difference of cognition, than the physical identity?

The Collective Creativity Creativity is serendipitous; creativity is full of color; creativity has many faces. How many forms of creativity are there? How are they different? How are they similar? Isn't what makes them similar also what makes them creative? Besides individual creativity, can creativity be manifested in the collective environment?

Cultivate a Culture of Innovation Although everyone talks about innovation and many companies intellectually understand innovation, they don’t really know how to build innovation into their culture. In many cases, companies of all sizes, especially large corporations have become too dependent on satisfying corporate regulation or protocols, and get sucked in innovation management. In essence, innovation rejuvenation is truly about how to cultivate a culture of innovation and manage a balanced innovation portfolio.

The “Future of CIO” Blog has reached 3 million page views with about #6700th blog posting in 59+ different categories of leadership, management, strategy, digitalization, change/talent, etc. The “Digital Master” book series includes 28 books to share insight from the multidimensional digital lens and perceive the multi-faceted impact the digital era upon us is making to 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 take 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.
