One of the important characteristics of the digital age is hyper-connectivity.
In an ideal digital workplace, the organizational structure is solid enough to keep people or things in order; but fluid enough to keep information and ideas flowing.
Creativity Connectivity
Creativity and Sociology Sociology is the study of human interaction, usually within the context of organized groups, communities, or societies. Sociology brings much more depth to our knowledge with an interdisciplinary understanding of creativity, business, and even an entire human society. Because the key elements in creative activity are often socially based and developed, hence, sociology can contribute significantly to understanding and explaining human creativity often as the collective activity. Thinking sociologically requires imagination and insight, to identify and explain social mechanisms of creativity and innovativeness.
Creativity vs. System Thinking Creativity is about connecting dots to generate novel ideas; to dig into mindset level, it’s a system thinking process. Systems Thinking is about seeing interrelationships rather than isolated things, understanding patterns, focusing on the nature of relationships rather than just on separate entities. What’s the further understanding of creativity and Systems Thinking?
Creativity and Humility All humans have a creative/artistic side while also have a curious/scientific side, bestowed with three basic instincts which are humility (egoless awareness and acceptance), curiosity (restlessness with the status quo), and creativity (urge to change or improve the status quo). Amazingly, these three basic instincts are intertwined. Humility energizes curiosity and curiosity ignites creativity.
Creativity & Education Creativity has emerged as one of the most wanted professional capabilities. But there is still serendipity about creativity. Creativity is fresh and new every time. Is creativity natural or nurtured? Can creativity be taught, how can today’s education system produce more creative leaders and professionals? Are modern educators both the artist and engineer for crafting talent?
Creativity and Authenticity Being authentic is the state of self-consciousness, self-discovery, and self-improvement. It seems everyone who considers authenticity has his or her own view of it. It is a construct formed in the mind and we know that the mind of every individual is different, the actual mental understanding and subsequent manifestations in action will be different for each individual. Does being authentic give you the courage to be creative? Or actually, creativity seems to make your life more authentic, in pursuit of “Who you are.” What are the intricate links between creativity and authenticity?
The “Future of CIO” Blog has reached 7 million page views with about #8700th 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 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.
