What are creativity techniques?
Creativity techniques are structured methods that help to develop new ideas, look at problems from unusual perspectives and find innovative solutions. They promote creative thinking by breaking through habitual thought patterns and creating space for inspiration. Different approaches are used - from brainstorming and mind maps to more modern methods such as design thinking or the 6-3-5 method. Creativity techniques can be used both individually and in teams and are suitable for various industries and challenges. They are a valuable tool for promoting the innovation process and remaining competitive in a constantly changing world.
Successfully applying creativity techniques
To successfully apply creativity techniques, a clear objective is essential - be it to find ideas, improve processes or solve problems. The choice of the appropriate method, such as brainstorming, design thinking or the 6-3-5 method, should be adapted to the task and group size. A creative environment that promotes openness and trust facilitates the development of innovative approaches. Moderation, clear timelines and visualization support the process and make ideas tangible. Finally, the results should be critically evaluated, prioritized and concrete steps derived in order to effectively implement the technology in practice.
