	In a gentle way, you can shake the world. (Mahatma Gandhi /1869 – 1948 / Indian philosopher)
	Five Types Of Thinking Futuristic Historical Systemic Creative Critical
	Creativity and the Fly A fly somehow found itself inside your house through an open window and then goes about banging its head against a different closed window. Why? It's obvious to that creature that the light source is right there in front of it, and it takes the shortest route to try to escape to freedom. And it's true: the shortest physical distance (just a 1/8 inch thickness of glass) to freedom would be straight ahead. Ah but there's an invisible obstacle and that fly would need to go the opposite direction to find its freedom. Creativity means getting to a place by exploring nonlinear routes. Actually, that way is too theoretical. Creativity works that way. The obvious may not get you where you need to be.Creativity is the ability to explore the less obvious to solve the problem; and yes, intellect or the ability to free ourselves from habitual patterns is certainly part of that.
	Seven environments Calm – Blocking – Oppressive – Releasing – Cautious – Nurturing – Self actualization
	Conventional-Creative-Critical
	1= The capacity to produce through thought or imagination; the capacity for original work 2= Any process by which something new is produced – an idea or an object including a new form or arrangement of old elements 3=The new creation must be useful to the solution of some problem
	F+O+X+E = Curriculum Fluency + Originality + Flexibility + Elaboration
	Exercise: Tell me 999 things about the tip of my nail
	Creativity is both… Serious and Playful
	Fluency Multiple Intelligences Languages Social Sciences Sciences Mathematics Games

	Elaboration Multiple Intelligences Languages Social Sciences Sciences Mathematics Games
	We need Creativity to create new solution in all areas of management Human Resources Humanities Arts Management Social Science Finance We need Creativity applied in new learning methods across the learning curriculum
	Creativity Innovation Ability to create new, meaningful things Introduction of something new and useful Used in psychology and social sciences Used in business and industry General ability Specific area of performance May be devoid of application purpose Always has a goal Emphasis on process Emphasis on product Mostly cognitive Cognitive, affective and skill-based
