CreativityModel Method Usage Opportunities

In CreativityModel Method context any activity that requires creative development efforts or planning is called a project. A project can be any kind of personal or professional, business related or non-profit or educational activity small or big, like, for example, writing something (an essay, or poetry, or a memo or anything else), painting a picture or writing music, or designing something, or putting together a business plan or its parts, or a meeting's agenda, or a travel itinerary, or doing research, or working on a company or regional policy making, or working on an IT project, or an activity that is related to performing arts, or working on a Web development or other type of computer application development tasks, or deciding what to give as a gift or what movie to see, or doing online or offline shopping, and so on.

Even life management and career development and entire company's development are projects in this context.

CreativityModel Method is equally applicable regardless of the project type. That is, the skills that CreativityModel Method addresses are common to and equally applicable to all types of projects.

For example, my writing this particular article's text is a project.

Similarly, my designing this website and other websites that are related to this venture (branding, logo, symbol, site and user interface design, usability, site architecture) are projects.

Similarly, my development of CreativityModel Method from scratch, with very limited resources, is also one big project that contains smaller projects within it.

The first of these examples, writing an article, is a project that has a manageable size and level of difficulty. Website and identity development are bigger projects.

CreativityModel Method development and exploration of the relevant business and non-profit opportunities is a very large project that in many ways exceeds my abilities.

However, usage of CreativityModel Method principles helps me to handle all of these projects, including such projects that I otherwise simply would not be capable of handling.

Other people can do the same in their areas of interest. I personally have rather mediocre creative abilities. I put a lot of effort into what I do. Further, my advantage is that I have worked on CreativityModel Method development for quite some time now. In the process I have improved my creative thinking skills and the relevant project development skills.

I believe that other people can train their creative thinking skills using CreativityModel Method principles as well. So, even if you don't consider yourself having outstanding creative abilities, through improving your creative thinking skills you can also improve what you can do and achieve.

None of my work that I describe here is the best in the world, but it represents the best that I personally can do at this point in time. That's what CreativityModel Method usage is also about - having the skills for doing the best and achieving the most within your personal abilities, expertise and experience. This includes reaching goals that otherwise would be out of reach.

Creativity Definition and CreativityModel Method Usage Opportunities

Let's also take a look at CreativityModel Method usage opportunities from creativity-related definitions perspective.

Creativity and creativity management are defined here the same way they are defined in CreativityModel Method Glossary.

Creativity definition: Thinking activities and mental processes that are needed for generating qualitatively appealing solutions regardless of the project type.

This definition is purposely broad, because every individual has the right to determine what is or is not qualitatively appealing in his or her opinion.

Creativity management definition: Management of creative thinking skills and other mental processes of an individual person or a group of people. That is, controlling, arranging and directing usage of the creative thinking skills and other mental processes of an individual person or a group of people.

CreativityModel Method focuses on creative thinking skills usage. Skills can be learned and trained.

This creates opportunities for entrepreneurial people who want to benefit both others and themselves by providing CreativityModel Method usage related products and services.

When and Where is CreativityModel Method Helpful?

CreativityModel Method usage can be helpful when you manage your own creative thinking skills, and when you manage other people's creative efforts in team environment. Similarly, CreativityModel Method usage can be helpful when you consult, train, teach or otherwise help other people to manage their creative thinking skills.

CreativityModel Method addresses choice supported self-expressive creativity usage and goal oriented creativity usage. Both types of creativity management approaches can be used in any combination necessary.

Choice supported, self-expressive creativity is typically associated with artistic creativity. Goal oriented creativity is prevailing in business environment and in most other professional environments, and can also be beneficial in other areas like career development and life management.

In addition, CreativityModel Method principles are applicable and helpful in other areas of professional life that are closely related to creativity usage like, for example, new product and service development and innovation management, and business and organizational planning and strategy development.

CreativityModel Method usage is helpful when an outcome has to be put together from elements that are generated and added either in a coordinated fashion or in random order.

So, people with different ability levels can learn to use CreativityModel Method for development of projects small and large.
