KEYNOTE - The Psychology of Creativity and Innovation

9:15 AM

1.25 Hours

Creativity and Innovation are hot topics in education, business and government. Creativity is generally understood to be concerned with the generation of new ideas, while innovation addresses the exploitation of those new ideas. Both, however, are driven by psychological factors including personality and cognition. In this presentation I will discuss those elements of motivation, personal properties, feelings and thinking styles that appear to favour creativity – what are they, and how are they measured – and will set these in the broader context of creative problem solving. I will outline the relationship between creativity and educational factors such as intelligence, and the presentation will also touch on darker aspects of creativity – how is creativity sometimes misapplied, and is there a relationship to less desirable personal characteristics such as narcissism? Finally, I will also outline the role that psychology and creativity play in shaping organisational performance – why do schools and other organisations need to learn how to be creative?
