What are the four types of creativity?

Media_httpwwwwhatmake_jlgnh

Via Eric Barker

Above is a matrix showing how they relate and descriptions are below:

“Thomas Edison”
…In order for deliberate, cognitive creativity to occur, you need to already have a body of knowledge about one or more particular topics. When you are being deliberatively and cognitively creative you are putting together existing information in new and novel ways.

“a-ha” moments
If you’ve ever had a personal crisis (relationship break-up, got fired, gone through a bankruptcy), and then had a flash of insight about yourself and what chain of bad decisions you might have made that contributed to the crisis, then you may have experienced deliberate, emotional creativity…

Isaac Newton “Eureka” moments
Have you ever been working on a problem or idea that you can’t seem to solve… Then you go to lunch, and on your way back you get a flash of insight… This is an example of spontaneous and cognitive creativity…

“Epiphanies”
…This is the kind of creativity that you think of when you think about great artists and musicians. Often these kind of spontaneous and emotional creative moments are quite powerful, such as an epiphany, or a religious experience. There is not specific knowledge necessary (it’s not cognitive) for this type of creativity, but there is often skill (writing, artistic, musical) needed to create something from the spontaneous and emotional creative idea.

‘New Twitter’, which brands are involved, best practices and key takeouts.

Screen_shot_2011-12-12_at_20

I’ve only gone and done a blog post. 

 

This time it was for a work community I’ve just started working on. It’s called SocialMediaCouncil.eu and you can check out my post there if you like.

 

I was getting annoyed after reading all the ton of coverage about the new brand pages for Twitter because everything I’ve read barely scratches the surface. It’s just there to exist and attribute their name to the topic. In the race to be first to get that tasty Google juice, the quality of the articles are suffering. So that was something I wanted to address...

 

 

I’ve given it a bit of a build up now but the article I wrote goes in to detail about what it all means, what’s changed, which brands are launch partners, how they are using the new real estate and some key take outs.

 

Interested in your thoughts as ever and do share if you found useful.
