Types of Creativity

Creativity describes the entire process in which ideas are deliberately provoked and actively prompted from the bodymind, (CREATIVITY), exploited and actively transformed into new outcomes, new values, new business, new work, new products, new services, new processes and wealth (INNOVATION), and made real in entrepreneurial activities in which people use new Creativity ideas, innovation and challenges to identify opportunities which are then developed into new enterprises, new organisations and new businesses(ENTREPRENEURSHIP)
Creativity describes the generative and multiplicative behaviour of information in an active self – organizing asymmetric patterning bodymind, involving the brain, heart, gut, the immune system and all the cells of the bodymind. Creativity is described by the equation:

C = E+B (ME) ?

C= Creativity
E+= Positive emotions
B= Bodymind, the living biological systems involving the brain, the heart, gut, immune system, other organ systems, and all the cells of the body.
M= Mass of data, information, knowledge and wisdom acquired over a lifetime. The creative person’s perceptions, thoughts, emotions, accumulated knowledge, thinking and wisdom gained over time.
E= The sum of experiences and the enlightenment gained that serve to energize the life of a creative person.
ME= Synergy between M and E, forms asymmetric patterns and also identifies who the creative person’s self-organising patterning bodymind is
(ME) ? =The infinite capacity that resides within the creative person, this is the essence of creativity
Creativity is applicable to all fields of human endeavour in two main ways (Edward de Bono):1.The first application in any of the disciplines is to help do what is done in a better way. This means doing what is done (a) faster (b) at less cost ( c )with less waste (d) with higher quality (e) in a simpler way (f) with higher agility.
