These
are the methods of improving creativity:-
1. Brainstorming
– contributions of participants, all ideas are recognized, and no criticizing
or evaluating of ideas during brainstorming.
2. Reverse
brainstorming: - here contributions made by participants are criticized;
negatives about a contribution are brought to surface.
3. Brain
writing – contributions of participants are written down and shared.
4. Gordon
method – usually participants do not know the exact nature of the problem –
this prevents idea being clouded by preconceived ideas. A general concept
associated with a problem is given and the group responds by expressing a
number of ideas.
5. Checklist
– developing new ideas through a list of related
issues.
6. Free
associations – developing a new idea through a chain of word association -a
chain of ideas ending with a new product.
7. Force
relationships – forcing relationships among some products – product
combinations.
8. Collective
notebook method – recording ideas about a problem in a notebook regularly e.g.
3 times a day. By end of week a list of the best ides is developed, along with
suggestions.
9. Attribute
listing – list attributes of an item or a problem and then look at each from a
variety of view point. Unrelated objects can be bought together to form a new
combination and possible new uses that better satisfy a need.
10. Big
dream approach – new idea developed through dreams thinking big.
11. Parameter
analysis – involves parameter identification and creative synthesis involves identification
of parameters – analyzing elements in a situation to determine their relative
importance. After the primary issues have been identified, the relationships
between parameters that describe the underlying issues are examined.
