Almost Finished my assignment

Well, I’ve been working on my assignment feverishly and I’m almost done! Its been quite an interesting process and I have worked out some of the drivers of my creativity. The key boundary question that I was tackling with the ‘Systems Thinking approach’ was: “How do I maximise my creative ability in order to better solve the probelms that I face?”

It’s been good to realise that I need to change my creative habits first so that I can ‘train’ myself to become more creative. Also, I realised that it’s no good trying to force ‘divergent thinking’ this is an outcome rather than a driver!

SDC – Individual Assignment

Worked hard this weekend on my SDC individual assignment. It was good to go through my notes (those that I was able to retreive) from the previous session and refresh my mind on the concepts and understandings that we discussed.

My project is coming along quite nicely, so far I have 111 learning points and I’ve arranged them into the grouped variables as I did for the Strat assignment. I must say, though, the Systems Thinking approach to problem solving is GREAT. I’m using it at work as well in some situations that hopefully will impact the business for the better.

I’ve attached some of the photies that I took of my thought process … see below
