Summary of the "Thinking" section
A brief summary of the articles within each subsection of this section on thinking
Consciousness
Consciousness is more than simply being awake. The word is used to describe what people are, their individuality. They are individual, separate consciousnesses.
Creativity
When analysing what creativity is, it is helpful to
consider creativity as something that is necessary for the
discovery of new solutions to problems. Solving problems
is not just a scientific or engineering activity, even
artists are commissioned to express a concept or an idea
in a certain way.
What makes one solution creative and another simply
ordinary. It seems that it is often the context within
which the solution is offered that establishes creativity.
This means that creativity is not simply a mental process.
There may be little to distinguish creativity from
expertise, for instance.
Idea Management
If somebody has a new idea, how do they record it, store and retrieve it, or validate the idea.
Innovation
Recent work on innovation in business has identified
conflict of definition. Some authorities see innovation,
not as the process of generating ideas but the process of
developing the ideas into a final product. However, not
all businesses feel this way and many see the generation
of novel ideas as being true innovation. The Collins
dictionary shows innovation as ‘something newly introduced
such as a new method or device’.
We believe that it is more helpful, and indeed accurate to
see innovation as the process of generating ‘innovative’
ideas and the process of exploiting these ideas as
something separate.
