Developing Cre8ng Communities and S.P.R.E.A.D.ng Creative Thinking throughout entire organizations from the front and back doors to the top floor.

Everyone is born with vast capacities to be creative.

Yet ALL cultures tend to cause people to conform and focus on "conventional thinking" rather than creative thinking in their workplaces,

EXCEPT when there is an emergency, life or death situations.

Then some to many people will use their...

HIDDEN, ASSUMED LOST, NOT USED or UNDEVELOPED CREATIVE THINKING ABILITIES to solve problems.

WHY WAIT? WHY GAMBLE?

Choosing your Challenge,

Reading Reaping information,

Examining what the problem really is,

Ideating "8" in a variety of ways,

Narrowing down many possible, potential, probable ideas into workable solutions,

Gathering resources, Generating your Plan and GO FOR IT !!!

Rather than waiting until a catastrophe why not start ENRICHING and EXPANDING the creativity of yourself and all your employees.

S.P.R.E.A.D.ng™ Cre8ng & Creative Thinking Throughout: Teams, Depts, Organizations

Article

Every employee from the front door or shop floor to the top floor has much more creative potential than most organizations typically benefit from. Yes R&D, design, marketing and creative departments demonstrate their creativeness. For an organization to truly complete with its competitors it needs to have everyone using their creative thinking from the simple to the complex problems and from the daily to long range challenges.

Many companies periodically show SUPPORT of the creativeness of their employees but randomly, not consistent and rarely continuously over long periods of time.

Some companies hold PROMOTION campaigns to generate more creativity but they seldom last for very long and seldom are effective for more than a few days or possibly a week or two.

Other companies have RECOGNITION or REWARD Systems that usually last for a short time and fizzle without making much difference in the willingness of the employees to generate ideas and solve problems on their jobs.

Occasionally managers ENCOURAGE some of their employees to be deliberately creative but typically not for long nor with enough or all their employees.

People in the normally seen as CREATIVE AREAS are expected to APPLY creative thinking but uncommonly not throughout the entire organization.

On rare occasions and seldom more than randomly do organizations implement on-going DEVELOPMENT PLANS or PROGRAMS for increasing and enriching existing creative thinking skills, traits, abilities, tools and techniques.

I have been studying companies and organizations from the outside and from the inside when I have worked with their employees since 1976 (3200 presentations, workshops, seminars, training programs).

I have worked as a licensed architect in firms and had my own; as an interior designer, a graphics/signage designer, a freelance writer, a freelance cartoonist, a television newswriter and editor (WXYZ-TV, Channel 7, Detroit ABC Affiliate), a college professor and an international creativity consultant.

CP3 colleagues have worked as engineers, designers, researchers, business leaders and many other occupations

I have 5 college degrees out of 9 degrees I started. 3 in design. 1 a Masters in Guidance & Counseling of Gifted, Talented and Creative Individuals. 1 a doctorate in Educational Psychology focused on the teaching of creative thinking techniques in teams and workplaces.

CP3 colleagues bring their many varied degrees and their extensive professional training experiences.

All of the CP3 colleagues from around the world have extensive educations, training, and professional backgrounds working with companies, organizations, associations and / or governmental agencies around the globe.

How may I or teams of my colleagues at CP3 - Cre8ng People, Places & Possibilities from around the globe help you, your team, your department, your organization become far more creative and more successful?

(primary program consisting of leading, communicating, teaming, conflict resolution and creative thinking modules)

The main objective of all my programs, speeches, consulting and products is to help my clients S.P.R.E.A.D. Cr.e.8.n.g.™ and Creative Thinking throughout their entire organizations from an individual employee to teams to departments to ALL EMPLOYEES so that they can begin to develop C.r.e.8.n.g.™ Communities in their companies and agencies.

The S.P.R.E.A.D.ng acronym stands for 6 inter-related groups of things that we can all do to develop C.r.e.8.n.g.™ Communities in our organizations.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Cre8ng™ Progressively -- Our greatest natural talent lies in our creative thinking abilities. Too often we squelch them internally and externally daily . We need to support, promote, recognize, encourage, apply and develop the creative thinking and creativeness of everyone from the front door to the top floor.

Coordinating Productively -- We need people who can productively coordinate the work of others at all levels of our private, public and volunteer organizations. We need to develop coordinating skills and to help people discover their most productive coordinating style(s).

Communicating Thoroughly -- Communicating requires active and dynamic involvement of everyone. It requires that we S.T.I.R.™ things up. We need to SHOW what we mean. TELL what we want understood. INVOLVE everyone. REACH all people, whether speaking one-on-one or in front of large audiences.

Collaborating Successfully -- As Human Beings our greatest capacity is our ability to become highly successful teams when we truly need to. In today's workplace we need to learn to develop what is intrinsic to us nearly every working day and not take it for granted.

Connecting...reaching out and encouraging people to reach back so that you truly get to know each other
