The 5 secrets of TechnoCreativity

1. Be an Innovator, an Early Adopter

A private library is not an appendage to stimulate the ego, but a tool for research. Read books are far less valuable than the unread.

(Nicholas Taleb)

Coolhunting

Coolhunting is a set of techniques aimed to anticipate the tastes and interests of consumers by looking for trends based on

consumption patterns.

One of the most important factors is traceability, not only to identify trends but knowing where it came from. The information gathering

process is based on identifying sources, differentiate mainstream, trendsetters and opinion leaders, gather information and categorize it.

Netnography

Netnography is a neologism that combines its ethnographic roots with the study of groups, communities or problems using Internet as

a social research field.

1. Detection of trends and fashions (LinkedIn, Twitter, Reddit, Wired UK...)2. Research (Addictomatic, Google Trends for Insights...)3. Monitoring trends (Google Alerts, Push notifications ...)4. Identification of influencers, content curators (Feedly, Flipboard)

It is better to know something of everything than to know everything about one thing.

(Blaise Pascal)

Functional or disciplinary skills. Deep knowledge.

Ability to apply knowledge across situations (collaborative, empathetic, proactive)

4. use agilecreativity

There is nothing in the world so useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all

(Peter Drucker)

Lean Philosophy

Agile software development is a group of software development methods based on iterative and incremental development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams.

“(Wikipedia)

1. The team must work, physically or virtually, located in the same place2. Add technical profiles to the creative team or better... Creative Technologists!3. "Minimum Viable Brief"4. Get real-time insights5. "Idea-thon" (effective creative exercises)6. Iterates and contrasts7. Involve the client in the pilot project

Agile Creativity in 7 steps

5. apply the new rules of creativity

Creativity is to think of new ideas.Innovation is doing new things

(Theodore Levitt)

Entrepreneurship as a lifestyle

3. A few seconds before the epiphany, a brain activity called "gamma-wave rhythm" occurs, generating the highest electrical frequency that the brain may have. It is produced by the generation of new connections between neurons.

1. When we have a problem, the left hemisphere begins to activate nerve cells that begin to dig over all possible combinations to find a solution.

2. Then the brain changes hemisphere (right one) that sees the whole picture and begins to seek associations not seen at first sight.

Gamma-wave rhythm

Gamma waves are produced in moments of relax, for example while you take a hot shower. That's why great ideas emerge in the shower!

1. Blue painted walls (University of British Columbia)2. Take more breaks (Radboud University, Nijmegen)3. Think like a child (North Dakota State University)4. Watch more comedy (Northwestern University, Illinois)5. Work with strangers (Northwestern University, Illinois)6. Be prepared to improvise 7. Channeling creativity (SCAMPER, Six Thinking Hats, Brainwriting)
