Practice divergent thinking by generating a list of possible solutions or approaches to your problem
Must use Headings/Templates below when answering questions. Use APA Citations and References
Select one problem, either in your personal or professional life, that you currently have ownership of and motivation to solve. Practice divergent thinking by generating a list of possible solutions or approaches to your problem. Then, practice convergent thinking and select the solution that you think holds the most promise. Be sure to justify your selection. Read “The Paradox of Samsung’s Rise” and consider how Samsung integrated the cultures of employees from all over the globe in order to stimulate creativity and innovation. Consider the influences of culture on this type of thinking and creativity in general.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post the following:
· A brief description of the problem along with your list of solutions, the solution you selected, and the justification for your selection.
· Next, describe the experience of using divergent thinking and convergent thinking. If you had not approached the problem using divergent and convergent practices in a systematic way, would you have arrived at the same solution? Explain why or why not.
· Finally, explain any aspects of culture that could either inhibit or support this creative process.
