Why get Creative?• Creativity is essential to progression in Business• Originality sets a company apart from the

competition• Creativity can be learnt• We all have the capacity to be Creative



1. Research• Research can help when you’re stuck• Learn as much as possible about something to

generate new ideas• Research what your competition is doing• Give yourself a time limit to avoid spending too

much time



2. The 6 Hats Technique• Think of your problem from a different perspective• Use each ‘Hat’ to think of your issue from a

different angle



The Red Hat• Your Emotional Hat• What are your feelings saying about the problem?



The White Hat• Your Objective Hat• What are the facts?



The Yellow Hat• Your Positive Hat• What will definitely work? What are the good

outcomes?



The Black Hat• Your Negative Hat• What won’t work? What are the risks?



The Green Hat• Your Creative Hat• What are alternative ideas to solve the problem

better?



The Blue Hat• Your Broad Perspective Hat• What is the best solution to the problem?



3. Sleep On It• It’s good to let ideas incubate• Have a little patience• Dreams can be great sources of inspiration• Keep a notebook by your bed and create a dream

journal

ZZZ



4. Go Back To Childhood• Think about what you enjoyed doing as a child• What could you start doing again as an adult?• Revisit activities and games to see if they stimulate

creativity• Use your imagination!



5. Draw (Badly) • Sketch an object, person or scene• Try to get every detail• This exercise will help you to focus on the details• Will also help you to express yourself through

representation



6. A Change of Scenery• Relocate to look for new inspiration• External changes affect you internally as well• Something new may trigger inspiration• Think about which environment suits your creativity

the best



7. Think In Reverse• Instead of thinking about the outcome you want,

think about the outcome you DON’T want• Turning things around can show you the qualities

your project needs• This method can help you think of things you may

have missed



8. Deprivation• Avoid existing works to develop your own unique

perspective• If you’re a writer, stop reading, a musician, stop

listening to music• This method will give you the space to find your

individual style without distractions



9. Slow Down• Take regular tasks and slow them down• Pay attention to things you’d normally miss• Think about using all of your senses• This will teach you to be more observant and thus

gather more inspiration



10. Don’t Stop at One Solution • Push further and seek alternative solutions to your

problems• This may yield something better• Be careful not to overdo it and never finish
