5 Creative Thinking Methods That Can Help You Make Better
Decisions
●Coco Chanel was the first designer to use jersey in her
fashions.
At the time, jersey was an inexpensive fabric used only for
men’s underwear.
● Chanel had faced difficult circumstances early in her life
and elected to use jersey to make women’s clothes because it
was inexpensive.
●With more expensive fabrics being rationed during World
War I, Chanel purchased the material at a low cost and used
the comfortable, functional fabric in her designs.
●She became known for her practical clothing line, ultimately
revolutionizing the face of fashion forever.
This is just one example of a creative thinker who used
●problem-solving to change her—and the course of history.
And she's not the only one. Creative thinking is a skill that can
get you far in the workplace and in life.
☆ The Five Elements Of Creativity
《》cognitive
●The first and most fundamental of skills is Cognitive. Anything
that we create starts with an idea or a representation in our
mind. We then use our other skills to bring it out into reality.
Imagination is the ultimate power of creation.
● The more of the world you are able to experience, the more
broader you can stretch your creativity. You will make unique
connections that no one else would have imagined. But, most
importantly it’s what makes you ‘you’.
《》Physical
●The second basic skill I would like to categorise is Physical. An
idea to become a reality, to attain form in the physical world,
needs precise co-ordination of our body and mind.
●When years of deliberate practice is applied to a physical skill,
it feels almost natural to turn something in our mind into
physical reality. Like sculpting, cooking or even dancing, all
these requires a harmonious co-ordination and feedback
《》Literary
●Now, bringing us to the third skill. Literary, a skill that let’s us turn the ideas or stories in our mind into words.
Words that are written to make a reader clearly understand our ideas. Words that are spoken to make a
listener pay close attention and absorb our ideas.
●A writer, playwright, novelist or an orator, all use their literary skills to effectively communicate their thoughts
to the world. Ancient scriptures, newspapers, science journals all used words to articulate concepts and make
knowledge flow into the minds of people all around the world.
《》visual
●The fourth fundamental skill is Visual. The ability to imagine worlds, characters, images, even your wildest dreams & put
them on a screen or a canvas or into a virtual 3d space. Visuals that enthral & transport their viewers into the creator’s
imagination.
●A director, visual FX artist, photographer, architect, designer, use their visual skills with the help of tools to bring to l ife their
thoughts in the form of images or motion. Visual skills can also compliment physical skills to create visual works of art or
carefully choreographed performances.
《》Aural
●Last but not least the fifth skill is Aural.
●The ability to create, modify & perceive sound.
●Letting your emotions flow in the form of music or building tension using sound in movies.
● Sounds that resonates, that brings together people & provides a deep experience.
●Musicians, sound designers, composers, producers, use their mastery in sound to create
soundscapes that immerse listeners into their expressions & emotions.
《》Best Creativity Tools –
●Creativity is the mother of all new ideas and innovation. It is that bright spark
that leads to the development of revolutionary techniques and path-breaking
inventions.
●Breakthroughs in science and technology owe their origins to the creative
genius of some people.
●Just think what would have happened had not Microsoft founder Bill Gates
create the popular Windows software?
● Or what we would have done without the invention of the smartphone or
Bluetooth devices? Obviously, these devices have originated from the creative
genius of some people.

What is traditional learning?
Traditional learning takes place in a classroom settingTraditional learning takes place
in a classroom setting.
There is a trainer who moderates and regulates the flow of information and
knowledge.
Then, the trainer expects the employees to deepen their knowledge through written
exercises at home.
Nowadays, technology is incorporated in the classroom more and more. However, in
face-to-face instruction scenarios, the primary source of information is still the trainer.
