'How Creativity Works': It's All In Your Imagination iStockphoto.com What makes people creative? What gives some of us the ability to create work that captivates the eyes, minds and hearts of others? Lehrer defines creativity broadly, considering everything from the invention of masking tape to breakthroughs in mathematics; from memorable ad campaigns to Shakespearean tragedies. Lehrer joins NPR's Robert Siegel to talk about the creative process — where great ideas come from, how to foster them, and what to do when you inevitably get stuck. Interview Highlights On comparing Shakespeare with the inventor of masking tape "I think we absolutely can lump them all together. "... On how Steve Jobs redesigned Pixar studios to maximize collaboration and creativity "The original design for the Pixar studios consisted of three separate buildings, where they'd put the computer scientists in one building, and the animators in a second building and the third building would contain everybody else: the directors, the editors and so on.

Researchers discover how and where imagination occurs in human brains Philosophers and scientists have long puzzled over where human imagination comes from. In other words, what makes humans able to create art, invent tools, think scientifically and perform other incredibly diverse behaviors? The answer, Dartmouth researchers conclude in a new study, lies in a widespread neural network—the brain's "mental workspace"—that consciously manipulates images, symbols, ideas and theories and gives humans the laser-like mental focus needed to solve complex problems and come up with new ideas. Their findings, titled "Network structure and dynamics of the mental workspace," appear the week of Sept. 16 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "Our findings move us closer to understanding how the organization of our brains sets us apart from other species and provides such a rich internal playground for us to think freely and creatively," says lead author Alex Schlegel , a graduate student in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences.

Motion Graphic: 29 Ways to Stay Creative Creativity is a fascinating concept, one I’ve wrestled with in my teaching and one I’ve debated with my students. Can creativity be taught? Are some people just naturally more creative than others? What if you don’t feel like a creative type? I’m an advocate for the idea that creativity can be taught, harnessed, and improved. I could list a number of ways that I think help improve creativity, but I think this wonderful motion graphic created by TofuDesign sums of some of the best (and simplest) ideas for improving creativity: 29 WAYS TO STAY CREATIVE from TO-FU on Vimeo.

Creativity Comes from Risk and Effort, Not Going to College As a college professor by trade (if I dare call my profession as such), I’m frequently asked a very compelling question: can creativity be taught? I’ve mulled this one over and over (and over some more) because it seems that in the answer to that question comes a very powerful opportunity: if creativity can, indeed, be taught, and if there is, truly, a formula for teaching it, then within the educator that possesses the formula lies the ability to change the world. A bit dramatic? What a flowery thought. But, of course, we educators–especially those of us in higher education–are frequently lambasted by the education non-believers: didn’t the world’s greatest innovators drop out of formal education? As much as I hate to hear it, there is an argument to be made there. The reality is, highly creative people often do find the formalities of contemporary education to be stifling. That doesn’t mean, however, that creativity doesn’t and can’t exist in college classrooms.
Humeur : L'Accélérateur®, Plaisir Rare ! Je reprends la plume pour un petit billet d'humeur... Je me suis réveillé ce matin en me disant que j'avais une chance extraordinaire d'avoir monté l'Accélérateur. Même si seul le temps dira si cette nouvelle aventure aura été financièrement rewarding (après tout, nous sommes une école d'entrepreneurs et de start-up avec le modèle d'un fonds d'investissement, donc nous prenons des risques en investissant sur telle ou telle start-up), mais une chose est déja acquise : le plaisir que j'en retire est unique ! Tout simplement parce que l'Accélérateur se trouve à la croisée des 3 choses que j'aime le plus professionnellement : l'investissement, l'entrepreneurship, et la pédagogie. L'Accélérateur est un plaisir rare, mais parfois difficile intellectuellement et physiquement : après une journée avec 5 ou 6 sesssions de travail intense où on doit être en alerte totale et shifter de focus rapidement, le cerveau est fatigué ! Pertinence de l'idée, du concept et du business model. L'humain !
It’s Okay to Fail: How We Can Learn to Be Better Creative Thinkers Our culture has a problem. We’re scared to fail. The reality is, much of what we do in life requires problem solving. And solving problems requires a certain level of opportunity for failure. It also requires some creative juice, which is made up of some concoction of ingredients that includes reflection, forethought, and, above all, some risk. That is, simply, the wrong attitude. But what if I did give them answers? But let’s be honest: there’s also very little room for learning (outside of memorizing processes) and certainly no room for creativity. In the defense of those who seek answers rather than problems, let’s be clear: society trains us not to be problem solvers. Noting the now-famous example of scientist Barry Marshall here is worthwhile. What happens, at the risk of failing or being considered an outsider or a simpleton or a misguided dolt, for that matter, is that we inadvertently conform to the norm. Why does this happen?

Fear is boring, and other tips for living a creative life Creativity is a tricky word. Consultants peddle it, brands promise it, we all strive for it, often without really knowing quite what “it” really is. Put simply, there’s a lot of snake oil around creativity. But now here’s author Elizabeth Gilbert (TED Talk, Your elusive creative genius) to cut through the guff with her distinctly refreshing take on the topic. For her, we’re all creative souls already, we just need to figure out how to harness inspiration and unleash the creative spirit within. Here, she shares her best pieces of advice for living a meaningfully creative life. 1. How many times have you heard someone say, “I don’t have a creative bone in my body.” 2. The magical thinking that I use to engage with creativity is this idea that inspiration does not come from me, it comes to me. 3. If you have a creative mind, it’s a little bit like owning a border collie. 4. You will never hear more complaints than from people who live in creative fields. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.
