What is creativity
In Wikipedia Creativity is defined as a mental and social process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts.
When I think about the creativity first that come in my mind is that creativity is the process of creative thinking. Thinking is the process of using our brain to generate ideas about something. That something can be problems that we must solve and decisions that we must make. On the other side, every business idea must be viewed as something that will solve problems to some people that have those problems.
Another aspect of creativity that I want to note here is quality of the results from that process – ideas. The creativity must bring quality results. When we are not creative we will have ideas that are not with best quality.
Because of that creativity in business purpose is the process of creative thinking that will results in quality business ideas that will have greater business potential energy.
