In other news, Isabelle liked her first day at primary school, even though some other little girl told her (repeatedly) that she was "only a baby". Spent last night working on her right hook

i got smacked across the back of the head in junior infants for forgetting to switch from crayon to pencil after drawing the picture for My News.I was actually beaten on my first day for drawing a round house. Apparently houses are square. I tried to explain that houses could be round and that I had a round house, (my mushroom house money box).
But being only 4 I think I didn't quite explain that is was a toy house not my home that was round.
Any ho, the teacher whacked my hands several times with the wooden ruler, because no one has a round house.
Needless to say i wasn't so fond of going to school after that.
In my work I come across similar problems to solve over and over again. I don't really get any quicker at solving them, because I tend to come up with a new solution each time - gets boring otherwise. Drives my "superiors" mad. Creativity isn't always good for the bottom line
abridged version of wiki entry said:The process was derived from tape-recording (initially audio, later video) of thousands of meetings, analysis of the results and experiments with alternative ways of dealing with the obstacles to success in the meeting. "Success" was defined as getting a creative solution that the group was committed to implement.
Prince emphasized the importance of Creative Behaviour in reducing inhibitions and releasing the inherent creativity of everyone. He and his colleagues developed specific practices and meeting structures which help people to ensure that their constructive intentions are experienced positively by one another.
Gordon emphasised the importance of "metaphorical process" to make the familiar strange and the strange familiar". He expressed his central principle as: "Trust things that are alien, and alienate things that are trusted." This encourages, on the one hand, fundamental problem-analysis and, on the other hand, the alienation of the original problem through the creation of analogies. It is thus possible for new and surprising solutions to emerge.
As an invention tool, Synectics invented a technique called "springboarding" for getting creative beginning ideas. For the development of beginning ideas, the method incorporates brainstorming and deepens and widens it with metaphor; it also adds an important evaluation process for Idea Development, which takes embryonic new ideas that are attractive but not yet feasible and builds them into new courses of action which have the commitment of the people who will implement them
Synectics is more demanding of the subject than brainstorming, as the steps involved mean that the process is more complicated and requires more time and effort. It is also much more rewarding because the end product is action not just ideas.

Hardly. I'm a good programmer, but a far from perfect employeeIn fairness Egg_ if you were paying a plumber by the hour and he said to you "I could fix this in ten mins but I'd rather think of a new way of fixing it" you'd hardly be applauding his creativity as you wrote out the higher cheque for his services.

I had stuff to say about this video in relation to this thread, but I think it speaks for itself.

nah, i'm definitely not using the right word.
can't see much creativity in maths to be honest, maybe coming up with new theorems in college or something. but primary maths just teaches you fundamental things that can only be done one way really, then in secondary school, as far as i remember, one way to do most topics. i think people can mix up understanding with creativity. no need to create new shit in school level maths.
