The methodical promotion of creative intelligence
Creative intelligence can be fostered through the design process, wherever specific problems are addressed and solved using creative strategies. It is not the solution, but the process itself that is at the heart of any strategic effort to foster creativity. Creative intelligence is evident in the alternative strategies that an individual can mobilize to solve general problems.
The task at hand serves as the concrete means to an end. It must allow for a high degree of freedom while still providing clear parameters within which the creative power of the imagination can unfold freely. Through creative experimentation, a dialogic question-and-answer process can be conducted, from which the initially unpredictable solution emerges. By relating to the problem, flashes of inspiration become ideas whose potential for solving the problem can be examined and evaluated.
Creativity is evident not only in the creative power of the work itself, but also in the richness of our thoughts and imaginations. The quality of our insights, ideas, and variations forms the reservoir from which new alternative strategies for solving ever-changing problems can continually emerge.
