We all attempt to solve real problems at work, school, and in life regularly. We plan, we test, we adjust. We come up with novel solutions to problems, without even realizing we do it.
And yet, many of us don’t see ourselves as creative or as innovators. Even fewer of us have a clear understanding of how innovation and creative problem-solving truly work in our minds and within our teams.
What might change if research made that clearer? How would we build and teach innovation and creative problem-solving differently? What level of creativity would we expect of ourselves and of others?
Next Level Lab is sharing an exciting new resource. One of our founding scholars, Tessa Forshaw, has published a new book, Innovation-ish, that goes on sale today. It is based upon her and her co-authors’ years of experience teaching creativity, design thinking, and innovation at the Stanford d.school, Harvard Innovation Lab, and Harvard Division of Continuing Education. You can learn more about the NLL research featured in the book in our latest Substack post.
