Creativity is critical.

Out of Our Minds explores creativity: its value in business, its ubiquity in children, its perceived absence in many adults and the phenomenon through which it disappears -- and offers a groundbreaking approach for getting it back. Author Sir Ken Robinson is an internationally recognised authority on creativity, and his TED talk on the subject is the most watched video in TED's history. In this book, Sir Ken argues that organisations everywhere are struggling to fix a problem that originates in schools and universities. Organisations everywhere are competing in a world that changes in the blink of an eye - they need people who are flexible enough to adapt, and creative enough to find novel solutions to problems old and new. Out of Our Minds describes how schools, businesses and communities can work together to bring creativity out of the closet and realise its inherent value at every stage of life. This new third edition has been updated to reflect changing technologies and demographics, with updated case studies and coverage of recent changes to education.

While education and training are the keys to the future, the key can also be turned the other way; locking people away from their own creativity. Only by actively fostering creativity can businesses unlock those doors and achieve their true potential. This book will help you to:

  • Understand the importance of actively promoting creativity and innovation.
  • Discover why creativity stagnates somewhere between childhood and adulthood.
  • Learn how to re-awaken dormant creativity to help your business achieve more.
  • Explore ways in which we can work together to keep creativity alive for everyone.

Modern business absolutely demands creativity of thought and action. We're all creative as children -- so where does it go? When do we lose it? Out of Our Minds has the answers, and clear solutions for getting it back.

創造力至關重要。

《超越思維》探討了創造力:它在商業中的價值、在兒童中的普遍性、在許多成年人中感知的缺失以及它消失的現象——並提供了一種開創性的方式來重新獲得創造力。作者肯·羅賓森爵士是一位國際公認的創造力權威,他在這個主題上的TED演講是TED歷史上觀看次數最多的視頻。在這本書中,肯·羅賓森爵士主張,世界各地的組織都在努力解決一個源於學校和大學的問題。組織在瞬息萬變的世界中競爭——他們需要能夠靈活適應的人,並且需要能夠找到新舊問題新解決方案的創造性人才。《超越思維》描述了學校、企業和社區如何共同合作,將創造力從隱蔽中釋放出來,並在生活的每個階段實現其固有價值。這本新第三版已更新,以反映不斷變化的技術和人口統計,並包含更新的案例研究和對教育最近變化的報導。

雖然教育和培訓是未來的關鍵,但這把鑰匙也可以反向轉動;將人們鎖住,遠離他們自己的創造力。只有通過積極培養創造力,企業才能打開這些門,實現其真正潛力。本書將幫助您:

- 理解積極促進創造力和創新重要性。
- 發現創造力在童年和成年之間停滯的原因。
- 學習如何重新喚醒沉睡的創造力,幫助您的企業實現更多。

- 探索我們如何共同努力,讓每個人都能保持創造力的活力。

現代商業絕對需要創造性的思考和行動。我們在兒童時期都是有創造力的——那麼它去哪裡了?我們何時失去了它?《超越思維》提供了答案,以及重新獲得創造力的明確解決方案。
