A FEW TOOLS & TECHNIQUES
To enhance your creative thinking skills, you can make use of the following tools and techniques:
1. Brainstorming: It refers to coming up with all sorts of ideas to tackle the problem at hand
through group discussion and bouncing ideas off each other.
2. Mind-mapping: A mind map is a chart where you input ideas and connect them, which allows
you to see it as a bigger picture.
3. Lateral thinking: It involves looking at less obvious aspects of something and lines of reasoning
by reversing the problem or looking at it from a different viewpoint.
4. Engaging with art: It refers to engaging with theatre and music and other forms of art in order
to think more creatively.
“Creativity doesn’t wait for that perfect moment.
It fashions its own perfect moments out of ordinary ones.”
