Think Creatively and Imaginative Skills


By Raul Bernardino

The creativities of each individual to decide or think of anything are based on the each individual knowledge, experiences, and the environment in which is surrounded to him or her in order to determine the act of thinking or decisions. The environment can be a group of people, entities, relevant information, facts, or anything that is contributing to the decision making process. The dynamic of the entities or of the groups are important resources of the creativities in taking decisions.

The creativity, it is also helping to generate the unique of the solution to the same or new generic problems. There are several techniques that can be triggered the creativity of each individual such brain storming, tree analysis, fish bone, SWOT analysis, etc. The information management system is the ability of computing base method to help the individuals, groups, or teams in order to make an effective decision making process.

It is a matter of fact, that the creative of thinking has been given a big room for the tolerance of the elusiveness situation. In other words, imaginative thinkers are not compelling that “there is only one truth” and they are prepared to test “the current truth”.

There are five stages of creative thinking as follows:
  • Grounding: in this part, individual requires a day to day learning processes and sensing in which to deal with multiparty situation
  • Focus: in this part, our focus on defining or framing the issues or problems in order to consider the alternative solutions
  • Incubation: in this part, we are allowed the alternative ways of solving the problem
  • Elucidation: in this part, we are flashing and recognizing the issues
  • Confirmation: in this part, we use the logical analysis to verify that good decision has been made

The organization has to encourage these stages of the creative thinking above in order to improve the qualities of individuals as employees. In some case, these have to be limited for instance in the decision making part; why is that? It is because of the deference’s of each individual’s job description.

There are three components of creativities as follows:
  • Expertise: This is person who has knowledge, ability, and proficiency. He or she has specific knowledge of something. For example Albert Einstein expert in ‘Relativity Theory’
  • Creative Thinking Skills: this personal has character in which is associating with the creativity thinking and also use his or her own ability to analogy the issue. In some form, this is a talent of each person in which can categorize into individual, intelligent, self-confident, risk taking, etc.
  • Intrinsic Task Motivation: this is a willingness of the person to work because it is exciting for him or her. This is also extending to fully engage in the work situation. Because they love their work, it becomes more creative in their organization or work place


The creativity is a positive word in a society constantly aspiring to innovation and “progress”. The culture is the general expression of humanity, the expression of its creativity. The culture is linked to meaning, knowledge, talents, industries, civilization and values. (European affairs, June 2009)

In order to be called the culture based creativities, these have required the individual abilities of non learner ways of thinking and imaginative of thinking. This is including an artistic skills and social atmosphere in which the individuals can educated and learned from.

Conclusion:
The creativities of the individuals that come with the nature and including the human natural of culture can enrich the society. The culture base creativities can enrich the organization with new ideas, vision, and products.
