Why you should build your Creative Skills
1. We live in a fast-changing world
In times of V-U-C-A, where markets emerge and collapse overnight you need to develop new skills like uncertainty tolerance to find great ideas. A rapidly changing world needs a rapidly changing you!
2. Schools don't teach creative thinking
Schools do not teach imaginative thinking. How can we generate great ideas when we do not know the creative process, nor do we know the tools, traits, habits, behaviors, and strategies of creative people?
3. AI will take over most of the jobs
Some scientists believe that by 2030, AI can dominate any intellectual activity, except for creative thinking! We carry the most imaginative machine in the world on our shoulders. We just need to build our creative skills.
4. Time is not on our side
5. Comfort is the enemy of creativity
To think outside the box you have to jump outside the box! Once you have crossed the chasm to creativity, there is big gain – you will meet your inner magician who will lead you down an unknown path. Your path!
