Wrap Up Issues:
Importance of client relationship Importance of creativity: ability to produce
new things, ideas or knowledge Imperative for innovation: successful implementation of creative ideas
Tradeoff between implementing immediate value to clients and longer-term, more “generic” creative activities.
Creative activities that will produce direct client benefits:
1. Incremental improvement
2. Combine existing ideas
3. Develop a completely new idea
4. Look at something old in a new way
5. Consider a problem from different angles
Evaluating a creative solution
1. Will it be successful in achieving stated goals or meeting a need well?
2. Is it an efficient solution? Is it economical, ideally low-cost, while delivering high performance?
3. Is it a new solution? Original, ground breaking or surprising?
4. Is the solution coherent in that it involves a clear conceptual design and is artistic, attractive or elegant?
