Five Thinking Forces Behind Creativity

We have the conditions of the environment in which we operate, with all restrictions, needs, gaps, and pressures that might push our creative minds to soar.

Being creative is the kind to "think outside the box" for idea generation and problem-solving. The most important characteristic of being creative is to act without fear and let you self-conscious express itself. Being innovative is a mindset and a prerequisite to doing sustainable business these days. Here are five thinking forces behind creativity.






Positive Thinking: A positive mind can encompass a positive mental attitude which is much broader than trust, empowerment, competitiveness and personal responsibility to win professionally and elegantly because the mind is focused on strengths, opportunities, to inspire creativity. A positive mental attitude is much broader than trust, empowerment, competitiveness and personal responsibility.

It’s the mentality to drive a positive attitude and help you conquer the current barriers in order to embrace a brighter future. People with positive thinking convey a strong will to make changes and nurture creativity and have a future orientation that makes them more prone to sacrifice immediate needs for future goals and make a positive influence in their surroundings.

Free Thinking: Free thinking is to keep your mind free, to explore and question. If you empty your desire to accept something, your mind will be free. A free mind is open to the new fountain of thoughts and comes up with fresh ideas via divergent thought processes. It is proactive and flow, can make a free choice and spur creativity. you know you may make the natural choice through mindful contemplation but free of thought.

A free mind has the freedom to think about everything and connect unusual dots to spark creativity. Your mind has free will to be in logic. Your mind has a free will to be beyond logic, to spark creativity. Digital leaders and professionals need to free their minds first; they have to be life learners themselves, continue to learn the new trends and updated knowledge in order to spark innovation.

Divergent thinking: Divergent thinking is a thought process to generate creative ideas, gain a new perspective to understand things, and practice “out of the box” thinking to come up with premium solutions. Divergent thinking is nurtured by interdisciplinary knowledge and enriched life experience. Many possible solutions are explored in a short amount of time, and unexpected connections are drawn. It typically occurs in a spontaneous and flow manner such that many ideas are generated in an emergent cognitive fashion.

It’s best to bring a group of people together with cognitive differences such as different backgrounds, capabilities, strengths, etc, together to obtain such a way of divergent thinking. Divergent thinkers develop mental techniques to come up with great ideas and explore different solutions to the problem. They do not take things for granted, but challenge conventional wisdom or some automatic assumptions about the problem, and figure out better ways to solve it. Ideas are seeds of creativity that can change a certain situation and future.

Convergent thinking: After the process of divergent thinking has been completed, information and ideas are organized and structured by leveraging convergent thinking. To a certain degree, the process to transform a novel idea to the business value is a combination of divergent and convergent thinking, the systematic and synthetic processes.

Truly creative people use the gap between vision and reality to generate energy for change. In order to innovate, it is necessary to follow a process where divergent or convergent thinking is always present and where you can use different tools. To a certain degree, the process to transform a novel idea to the business value is a combination of divergent and convergent thinking, the systematic and synthetic processes.


Generative thinking: One of the aspects of creativity is the environment in which individuals or groups need to generate creative ideas regularly and frequently. Encourage thinking differently by generating different scenarios where there is no one solution to one problem, but rather, to construct an event where the individual inputs must compound and build upon each other. 

The more synergizing co-resonance there is within the designing team, for example, then the more likely that those sudden “aha” moments could flow from this created ”differential” between “what now” and “could be.” It starts with the articulation of a desirable future experience scenario for creative talents and then allowing that to act as a form of attraction or “pull” as an actualizing potential.

Creativity is the "soaring factor." We all should broaden our points of interest and try new things to extend our thinking box. Diversity in thoughts can provide you with new perspectives on life and possibly work. Creative people leverage specific systems to be creative, emergent, divergent, convergent, and generative thought processes and so on. We have the conditions of the environment in which we operate, with all restrictions, needs, gaps, and pressures that might push our creative minds to soar.
