It is required both in professional and private settings in order to master the increasingly complex challenges of our time. Creative solutions can help companies overcome small obstacles in a playful way. But even profound, seemingly impossible challenges can be tackled. All you need to do is train and enhance your potential. What is required for this is an open mindset-and also a willingness to experiment.

Practical tips from creative professionals will provide you with fresh ideas and ways to implement them into your own creative process. How does creativity work? Everything we do revolves around producing something new and useful. The necessary qualities that come into play here include imagination, resourcefulness, creative power, ingenuity, and inventiveness. Generally, it is always a matter of context and the level of creative output. In the video course, business psychologist Jennifer Haase explains what it takes to produce a perceivably creative output.

When it comes to creativity, the field of brain research is still an emerging science. Still, neuroscientist Dr. Radwa Khalil has found that during any creative process, there are three networks in particular that become active in our brain, and they extend throughout the entire brain. This does away with the idea that one side of the brain is not any more creative than the other.
