Discontinuous change in organizations. Using training and development interventions to develop creativity
Abstract
Considers the availability of objective criteria for creativity enhancement from relevant applied research. Uses research to address the problem of creativity within the framework of artificial intelligence. Compares thinking to using a map and discusses creativity in terms of making our own maps rather than just following existing maps. Suggests that creativity includes the individual′s mastering of existing rules, enabling him or her to see when these rules might be broken. It thus follows that basic heuristic competences underlie the creative act. A strategy for stimulating creativity should include a more systematic basis for the development of creative resources, in the concept of heuristic competence.
