Innovation is a new idea, device or process. Innovation can be viewed as the application of
better solutions that meet new requirements, inarticulated needs, or existing market
needs.This is accomplished through more
effective products, processes, services, technologies, or ideas that are readily available
to markets, governments andsociety. The term innovation can be defined as something
original and more effective and, as a consequence, new, that "breaks into" the market or
society.
While a novel device is often described as an innovation, in economics, management science,
and other fields of practice and analysis innovation is generally considered to be a process
that brings together various novel ideas in a way that they have an impact on society.

Reframing opens up creative possibilities by changing our interpretation of an event,
situation, behaviour, person or object.
Think about a time when you changed your opinion of somebody. Maybe you saw them as
difficult or unpleasant because of the way they behaved towards you; only to discover a
reason for that behaviour that made you feel sympathetic towards them. So you ended up
with an image of them as struggling or dealing with problems rather than bad.

3. Insight
The word insight has several different meanings, but in the context of creative thinking it
means an idea that appears in the mind as if from nowhere, with no immediately preceding
conscious thought or effort. Its the proverbial Aha! or Eureka! moment, when an idea
pops into your mind out of the blue.
There are many accounts of creative breakthroughs made through insight, from Archimedes
in the bath tub onwards. All of them follow the same basic pattern:

4. Creative Flow
You know that feeling you get when youre completely absorbed in your work and the
outside world seems to melt away? When everything seems to fall into place, and whatever
youre working with ideas, words, notes, colours or whatever start to flow easily and

How to Develop 5 Critical Thinking Types
They can understand and appreciate the current state as well as see
possibilities. When dealing with todays issues, they operate from a broad,
long-term perspective rather than focusing only on short-term implications.
And they can gather information and make decisions in a timely manner.
Most of all, strategic leaders know how to strike a balance between
visualizing what might or could be and an effective day-to-day approach to
implementation. They can look into the future to see where the company
needs to go and what it will look like once they get there. And they can do
this while making sure the right things get done on a daily basis.
This type of strategic leadership requires five different types of thinking.
Knowing when and how much to utilize each one is the hallmark of great
leaders.
