Dear all,
I am very happy to announce that the collaborative book “Creativity and Innovation Affairs” will be presented live in Porto and on Zoom <https://videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/87472096499?pwd=c0d4ZFhoSUJNelZ0U0FEcUw4MzVDQT09> this Thursday 21. April, to celebrate the World Creativity and Innovation Day <https://www.un.org/en/observances/creativity-and-innovation-day>/Week <https://wciw.org/>.
Some of the 28 co-authors came together through this list, what is fantastic!
The book “Creativity and Innovation Affairs - Are they or are they not…?” is dedicated to clarify ambiguous concepts from the world of creativity, design and innovation. One of the initial triggers for the development of the book was the perceived ambiguity of the binomials Design vs. Design Thinking and Innovation vs. Invention. Frequently, designers and innovation consultants are questioned by their clients about the relationships between these kind of concepts. Has the second emerged through the first, or vice-verse? Is one part of the other? Where are the similarities and which are the differences? This conceptual incomprehension makes itself noticeable between many ambiguous concepts in the world of innovation and creativity. What is the difference between Radical and Disruptive Innovation? Or is Social Innovation the same as Social Intervention? And regarding Creativity, are Creativity and Creative Thinking the same? In this book the reader will find answers to these kinds of questions and doubts.
28 authors from 10 different countries and cultural backgrounds are questioning current definitions and perceptions, by comparing different sources and ideas, or simply by giving their personal opinions. Some of the authors have an academic background, others a practical one, being either entrepreneurs, working with innovation in companies, or being innovation/design consultant.
If you are interested in the book, until the 24th it is available to order <https://blog.mindshake.pt/shop/are-they-or-are-they-not-creativity-affairs/> for a pre-launching price.
Best wishes,
