Can innovation be a simple mathematical formula?

Image
“Creativity based Innovation” pushes and stimulates our mathematical brain. All along the innovation process, we need to work ideas as numbers by adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing them into stages of divergence, convergence, selection and filtering, clustering and final decision making. As in “Maths”, sometimes two opposite ideas - when added together - become a disruptive concept. Our creative “brain” is prepared and able to find simple solutions to difficult “equations”. This is the reason why also in our day-to-day lives “mathematics” can help us to “simplify complexity”. “Creativity isn’t just the things we choose to put in, it’s also the things we choose to leave out.” (Austin Kleon, 2012) This simple statement can be interpreted as follows: Putting something in = adding; leaving something out =subtracting. You can build innovation starting from scratch by putting in (adding) ideas, contents, and potential solutions to the initial challenge. The opposi...

"Timeless Space"​ for Creativity - Education based on Memory + Imagination, Past & Future not the PRESENT please!

Image
CREATIVItY, or rather Creative Thinking, happens exactly in the "timeless space" of the encounter between our memory and our capacity for imagination, that is, between the past and the future. Memory  feeds on  "lived" experiences  whether they are factual, "adjusted by our present perception of what was the reality" or fictitious.  Imagination  feeds on the projections we are capable of making of the future. In this timeless space, "informed creativity"  is born, built on the stimuli of "experience" and "imagination" that allows us to "cross" or re-interpret signs and signifiers, generating  new meaning or "new information" . We tend to call this process  "Intuition"  many times because it is difficult to accurately make it tangible and define all the moments that happen internally in our body and which are then  transformed  into the  creative Idea  or the creative solution. In this s...

HOW CAN MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HELP ME TO BE A BETTER TEACHER?

Image
From an early age, we have created the routine for our Mariana to express herself through imagery, providing materials, supports, instruments, but essentially "creating" specific moments: experiences with paints conducted by the "babysitter" (she an artist too) to "kill time and the homesickness of the Parents"; vacation graphic diary (one drawing per day exploring different materials); learning the numbers by making cutting and gluing of materials, for example... More recently learning to write the name that quickly in his imagination happened to be the "signature" of the works and the sender of the "letters" that "writes" to parents, grandparents, friends, finally to everyone who likes...   In common all the exercises, it is a simple concern to make our daughter understand the purpose of the exercise more than the rules she must follow, that is, to give her a stimulus of ignition to the imagination, accompanying ...
