Daniel Pink’sMODEL FOR WORKING CREATIVELY

PINK MODEL FOR CREATIVE WORK

DESIGN = beautiful, whimsical, emotionally engaging, not just information and data (there is too much of that)

STORY= compelling narrative which means belief, motivation, connection, not just argument

SYMPHONY=synthesis, big picture, crossing boundaries, combining disparate pieces into an arresting new whole, not analysis.

EMPATHY=understanding of human beings, forging relationships, caring for others, not just logic

PLAY=laughter, lightheartedness, games, humor, not just sobriety

MEANING=purpose beyond just experience, transcendence, spiritual fulfillment, not just material plenty(we have enough books for our users)

Tom KELLEY: 10 Faces of InNoVAtioN

Go for quantity of ideas Encourage wild ideas Be visual Defer judgment ONE conversation at a

TIME( alternatives are to do in stages from individual, to pairs/small groups to larger group

CREATIVITY 1ST, then ANALYSIS

Alane starkoCREATIVITY IN THE

CLASSROOM

FLUENCY=think of many ideas

FLEXIBILITY=think of varied ideas(this way and also this way)

ORIGINALITY=think of unusual ideas

ELABORATION=extending existing ideas/next step/if I had more time/iterations

FINAL MODEL:

WHAT STOPS CREATIVITY???
