Creativity Toolkit I: Changing Perspectives
Curso 3 de 7 em Specialization Innovation: From Creativity to Entrepreneurship
Thinking and doing the same things faster and better is not enough; we need creativity. Fortunately, creativity is a skill you can learn. This course will examine when, why, and how we can be creative. It examines the cues that trigger us to consider being creative. It provides a road map of the creative process – the process of changing our perspectives – and the kinds of outcomes that result from creativity. It examines how we can go through the creative process more efficiently and more effectively by examining what is changing about our thinking and how we can make those changes. The end result is more flexible thinking that can be used to recognize and develop new opportunities.
Module 2: Raw Materials and End Products
In this module you will learn a way to break down what it is we are currently thinking so that we can consider changing it to generate new outcomes.

Let's see how we
can use pages to help us be creative.
It takes a little practice to understand and sort of get the hang of it.
We'll start with a little puzzle.
Please take out a piece of paper,
and a pen, or a pencil,
and draw nine dots on it,
as in the picture on the screen.
Now, here's the puzzle.
Without lifting your pen or retracing any lines,
use no more than four straight connected lines to go through all nine dots.
For example, here we have two lines that go through four dots.
We can use up to four lines to go through all the dots. Give it a try.
We're going to pause here,
see what you come up with,
