Innovation toolkit
Welcome to Creativity, Innovation and Transformation (CIT). CIT requires a unique way of thinking. In this module, we will introduce you to the CIT mindset as well as the Intelligent Fast Failure (IFF) method as a powerful tool for innovation. First, you will learn how to change the way your brain works to produce ideas in a process called Mind Warping. Next, you’ll take action to change your life and the world around you by fully utilizing your own uniqueness. Finally, you will do what is thought to be impossible, starting with minimal or no knowledge and limited resources. Sounds easy, doesn’t it? Try it and see for yourself!
Understanding creative diversity
Welcome to the world of creative diversity! In this module, you will learn that creativity comes in many shapes and sizes, each of which is equally important to solving the world’s problems. Specifically, you will learn about the four key variables that define and describe creative diversity, including your creative style and your creative level. You’ll also learn how creative diversity affects the ideas you generate and how you use them, as well as how to recognize and value the creative diversity of others around you.
The CENTER model
In this module, you will learn about the 6 practices of the CENTER model, which stands for Character, Excellence, Commitment, Commitment, Perseverance, Entrepreneurship, and Relationships. Each practice will bring you closer to realizing the ideas you generate and develop using the tools you have already learned!
