Germination
In this stage, idea is germinated. Someone
speaks of creation of curiosity prior to
germination (The process whereby seeds
and begin to grow)
If no curiosity is aroused within a man,
no idea is created.

Preparation
Once the seed of curiosity has taken from as
a focused idea, the creative people make a
careful search for appropriate answers.
If a problem requires to be solved, then he
attempts to seek information about the
problem and attempts to look how others try
to solve similar type of problems.

Blocks to creativity
 The first step to becoming a more creative individual is to
understand what conceptual blocks are and how they
interfere with our ability to think about things in a new
way.
 A conceptual block is a mind set that prevents a person
from seeing a problem or a solution in an unconventional
way.

The most frequently occurring conceptual blocks are
 perceptual blocks,
 emotional blocks,
 cultural blocks,
 environmental blocks and
 communication blocks.

Perceptual Blocks
These are difficulty that stop us from clearly perceiving the problem or
the information needed to solve it. A few perceptual blocks are:
 Stereotyping:- This assumes that once an idea is recognized it
can have rejection other use or function.
 Imaginary boundaries:- We project boundaries on the problem
and solution that need not exist in reality.
 Information overload:- Trying to satisfy an excess of
information and detail check the alternative that can be
considered

Emotional Blocks
 These blocks decrease your freedom to explore and
manipulate ideas in a territory that makes you
uncomfortable. They interfere with your ability to
conceptualize smoothly and flexibly.
 Emotional blocks prevent you from communicating
your ideas to others. Some types of emotional blocks
include:

Con……..
Fear of taking a Risk: Risk taking is always difficult, we start from
childhood to be careful, not to fail, not to look foolish
Dislike for uncertainty:- To be a good problem solver you must be
prepared to deal with problems that are sometimes confusing
Judgmental attitude:- This block comes from a negative attitude.
Finding reasons why things wont work is easier than accepting a
strange idea.
Lack of challenge:- Some times problems or solutions look
like too trivial ((informal) small and of little importance)
or easy to waste our time on.

Cultural Blocks.
These are blocks that we impose on ourselves
due to the society, culture or group to which
we belong. Cultural blocks refuse to accept
that other groups may see and desire things
to be different. Some of these blocks are

Our way is right:- This refuses to accept that there are other
ways of doing things.
We don't say or think that way:- This is a reflection of the
inhibition we carry with us. But, some time good
solutions must be approached by first considering the
unacceptable and thinking the unthinkable

Environmental Blocks.
These blocks are due the break in our
surroundings, real, imagined, or anticipated.
Working in an environment that is satisfying
and supportive increases the generation of
new ideas
Page 19

Intellectual Blocks
These blocks occur because of insufficient knowledge of the
kind needed to solve the problem being considered. Or
because of a fixation on the specialty, with which we are
comfortable, and denying the possibility that a better
solution can be achieved using a different specialty
Page 20

Expressive Blocks.
This is the willingness to express ideas clearly to others or
oneself. Making models, sketches, drawings, or diagrams
may clarify ideas and help in communicating them

InnovatIon
Innovation is about creating value and
increasing efficiency, and therefore growing
your business. "Without innovation, new
products, new services, and new ways of
doing business would never come out, and
most organizations would be forever fixed
doing the same old things the same old way."
