CreativityModel Method Version 1.3 Changes

August 1, 2011

CreativityModel Method versions that have been published so far address primarily manageable thinking skills usage. In order to highlight this aspect more clearly than it was done before, the following changes were made:

to

Creativity management - Management of creative thinking skills and other mental processes of an individual person or a group of people. That is, controlling, arranging and directing usage of the creative thinking skills and other mental processes of an individual person or a group of people.

CreativityModel Method definition was changed from

CreativityModel Method - All purpose creativity management method. CreativityModel Method usage helps to produce output that is qualitatively different from input so that coherent outcomes are assembled from elements that are created, stored, and accessed in a random order or in a coordinated fashion. Further, CreativityModel Method usage helps to achieve improved results effectively and efficiently within CreativityModel Method user's abilities. Enhanced results can be generated through computer usage, by doing Internet based and other types of research, by using additional sources of information and by working with other people.
