Dawn Gibbins started a technical flooring company called Flowcrete in 1982 with her father Peter, an industrial chemist. Over time, Flowcrete grew to become a world leader in innovative flooring systems, supplying products to locations around the globe. In 2008, Flowcrete was acquired by RPM, a large protective coatings company. This sale allowed Dawn to pursue new challenges like creating a social enterprise focused on Feng Shui and healthy environments.
The document provides tips for improving creativity for both personal and professional purposes. It suggests assessing your current level of creativity and noting that most people underestimate their creative abilities. It then recommends developing skills through daily practice of idea generation when exposed to new information or experiences. The use of "benign structures" is also suggested to help overcome habits that restrict new ideas. These include techniques like reverse thinking, additive thinking, and considering problems from different perspectives. Regularly capturing and sharing ideas is important as well. With consistent practice of creativity skills, one can discover their unique "creativity signature." An idea only has value if it is acted on and leads to improvement.
This document discusses theories and research on creativity. It covers definitions of creativity, theories of creativity on the individual, team, and organizational levels. It also discusses factors that foster creativity such as intrinsic motivation, creative climates, and creative clusters. The document examines models of team development and proposes that overcoming behavioral and performance barriers is necessary for creative performance. It provides examples of creative organizations like Toyota, Haier, WordPress, and IDEO.
The creative individual in the knowledge-based societyTudor Rickards
The document discusses theories of creativity and innovation, and how creative individuals can help develop teams. It proposes that creative leaders establish "benign structures" that overcome barriers and encourage creativity in others. Research identified seven team factors influenced by creative leadership, and found some teams outperform through these structures. The conclusion is that creativity, innovation, and co-creation will be increasingly important in knowledge societies and organizations should embed creative teams and networks.
The document discusses leadership challenges in the 21st century and approaches to developing global leaders. It notes that effective leadership requires acknowledging ethical and creative aspects as well as distributed models. Developing leaders benefits from approaches that encourage "learning through doing" by engaging with real dilemmas and considering alternative strategies. The most important leader to study is oneself.

1. The document discusses the relationship between creativity and design through the example of designing different chess sets.
2. It encourages the reader to evaluate different chess set designs and consider which they would choose based on preferences for different pieces.
3. It then presents techniques called "benign structures" that can support creativity, such as reverse thinking, add-on thinking, and blue sky thinking, and discusses how leadership can help design teams be more creative by establishing new structures.
The document discusses trends in leadership thought over time. It begins with early theories that focused on heroic or trait-based leadership. Later theories examined leadership styles and contingency approaches. Current approaches emphasize transformational and distributed leadership. The document traces how leadership theories have evolved from focusing on great individuals to emphasizing relational and collaborative approaches.
The document summarizes a conference on creativity from the past to the future. It discusses how creativity was viewed in early creation myths and how it was associated with genius and madness. It explores how structures and studies of creativity have developed over the 20th century in teams, organizations, and industries. The document outlines many theories of creativity and says creativity will be even more important in the 21st century for human and environmental well-being.

Creative leadership: broken windows, maps and dilemmasTudor Rickards
The document discusses applying the "Broken Windows" theory to work environments. It suggests unfavorable work environments are produced through rude, greedy, and favoritist behaviors, while favorable environments are achieved through clarifying, connecting, and communicating. It also discusses how understanding our thought processes, or "conceptual maps", can help change behaviors and move from unfavorable to favorable work environments.
The document discusses creativity and leadership. It describes the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) model which includes stages of clarifying situations, transforming ideas, and implementing solutions. CPS involves thinking skills like strategic, ideational, and contextual thinking paired with affective skills. The document also examines the relationship between creativity and leadership, positioning creativity as a core leadership competence needed to address complex problems. It presents models for developing creative change leaders and the interaction between person, process, environment, and products in creative change.
Un profesional en gestión de proyectos organiza y administra proyectos con disciplina utilizando metodologías establecidas.

Verifica el progreso a través de hitos como el acta inicial, el avance intermedio y el producto final, evaluando factores como el control de calidad, costo, alcance y tiempo.
The document discusses climate change and technologies that could help mitigate its effects. It presents two questions and answers about the water cycle and carbon dioxide absorption. The first question explains how water evaporates from the oceans and falls as rain, allowing life on Earth. The second question notes that plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen and nutrients, and that a balanced diet with different nutrients is important.

Desarrollando Aplicaciones Modulares En Wpf Y Silverlight Con PrismEzequiel Jadib
Este documento describe cómo Prism permite el desarrollo de aplicaciones modulares en WPF y Silverlight mediante la composición de interfaces de usuario, comunicación entre módulos y patrones de presentación. Prism proporciona características como carga y descubrimiento de módulos, inyección de vistas, regiones y eventos/comandos para facilitar la creación de aplicaciones complejas con una arquitectura limpia y mantenible.
Este documento discute el papel de un artista. Sugiera que un papel del artista es atrapar moscas, aunque esta no es una tarea fácil. También menciona mirar moscas a través de una cerradura, posiblemente refiriéndose a observar sin ser visto. Hace referencia al trabajo de Maurits Escher y al concepto de "el aleph".

El sistema utilizará algoritmos de ML para optimizar la distribución de recursos, como el transporte, el alojamiento y la seguridad, en función de la afluencia prevista de turistas. La plataforma ofrecerá una amplia oferta de productos, servicios, tiquetería e información relevante para incentivar el uso de está y generarle valor al usuario, además, realiza un levantamiento de datos de los espectadores que se registran y genera la estadística demográfica, ayudando a reducir la congestión, las largas filas y otros problemas, así como a identificar áreas de alto riesgo de delincuencia y otros problemas de seguridad.
Bienvenido al mundo real de la teoría organizacional. La suerte cambiante de Xerox
muestra la teoría organizacional en acción. Los directivos de Xerox estaban muy involucrados en la teoría organizacional cada día de su vida laboral; pero muchos nunca se
dieron cuenta de ello. Los gerentes de la empresa no entendían muy bien la manera en que
la organización se relacionaba con el entorno o cómo debía funcionar internamente. Los
conceptos de la teoría organizacional han ayudado a que Anne Mulcahy y Úrsula analicen
y diagnostiquen lo que sucede, así como los cambios necesarios para que la empresa siga
siendo competitiva. La teoría organizacional proporciona las herramientas para explicar
el declive de Xerox, entender la transformación realizada por Mulcahy y reconocer algunos pasos que Burns pudo tomar para mantener a Xerox competitiva.
Numerosas organizaciones han enfrentado problemas similares. Los directivos de
American Airlines, por ejemplo, que una vez fue la aerolínea más grande de Estados
Unidos, han estado luchando durante los últimos diez años para encontrar la fórmula
adecuada para mantener a la empresa una vez más orgullosa y competitiva. La compañía
matriz de American, AMR Corporation, acumuló $11.6 mil millones en pérdidas de 2001
a 2011 y no ha tenido un año rentable desde 2007.2
O considere los errores organizacionales dramáticos ilustrados por la crisis de 2008 en el sector de la industria hipotecaria
y de las finanzas en los Estados Unidos. Bear Stearns desapareció y Lehman Brothers se
declaró en quiebra. American International Group (AIG) buscó un rescate del gobierno
estadounidense. Otro icono, Merrill Lynch, fue salvado por formar parte de Bank of
America, que ya le había arrebatado al prestamista hipotecario Countrywide Financial
Corporation.3
La crisis de 2008 en el sector financiero de Estados Unidos representó un
cambio y una incertidumbre en una escala sin precedentes, y hasta cierto grado, afectó a
los gerentes en todo tipo de organizaciones e industrias del mundo en los años venideros.
