You’ve been reading, reflecting and maybe practising being creative, innovative and entrepreneurial…if these are the traits that employers are looking for, then it’s useful to practice responses to the sorts of questions they might ask.
Adapted from Communities of Practice: Human Capital by Lisa Bodell - 15 Interview Questions to Hire Employees With Tomorrow's Skills:
The following activities/ journal exercises have been adapted from Clegg. Some are designed for you to complete on your own (as exercises that foster creativity in you) while others are designed to encourage creativity in groups. It is always useful to have a couple of activities ready for that project meeting that stalls or a problem that you can’t work through!
This first activity is interesting for lots of reasons – if you listen to Astro Teller or others, telling the story of an idea is important and storytelling can help you develop creative ideas and think differently about problems.
While you may need to modify the results of these activities to make them more practical for your specific purposes, these activities can be used as a stepping-off point to help you think of a different, but associated, practical solution which still remains creative.
