Nearly all of today' s major innovation workshops and programs call on organizations to drive innovation. What they miss is that innovation comes from the personal creativity of individuals. And creativity doesn' t require an advanced education or technical skills--all employees can be creative. Often, all they lack is a fitting mindset and the right tools. The Creative Mindset brings how-to advice, tools, and techniques from two master innovators who have taught and worked with over half of all Fortune 500 companies. Jeff and Staney DeGraff introduce six essential creative-thinking skills that can be easily mastered with limited practice and remembered as the acronym CREATE- Concentrate, Replicate, Elaborate, Associate, Translate, and Evaluate. These six skills, sequenced as steps, simplify and summarize the most important research on creative thinking and draw on over thirty years of real-world application in some of the most innovative organizations in the world. It' s time to rethink the way we make innovation happen. As the spirit of chef Gusteau proclaims in the Pixar classic Ratatouille, "Anyone can cook.
Jeff DeGraff is a clinical professor of management and organizations at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan and is an advisor to Fortune 500 companies--including General Electric, Coca-Cola, Google, Mercedes-Benz, and many more.
