Assignment: Skill Building In Entrepreneurship
Question 1: Try to answer this question before you dive deeply into the assigned materials this week (but if not, no worries). Define creativity in your own words. What is creativity? How does it work? Are some people more creative than others, and if so, why? Can creativity be taught? How does creativity impact a person's career?
Question 2: Threw a lot of material at you. I wish I had an entire semester to spend with you learning and discussing nothing but creativity, but we only have one week. What I need you to do in this question is to synthesize pretty much everything you learned this week about creativity. Connect lots of dots into something meaningful. Apply YOUR definition of creativity to business, and more importantly, to entrepreneurship (specifically to new venture creation and new venture management?
Question 3: Go to the Stanford Design School web page "Future of Stuff Challenge" (FSC) and review the process. Describe how this approach (developed entirely independently of Dr. Meeks' experience, research, and formal education) is related to what we are covering in this course. Do you agree or disagree with the FSC approach (or any part of it); why or why not. How might you apply this FSC approach? I really want to know what you think about FSC - please share. Here is the link to the "Future of Stuff Challenge".
Question 4: Stanford's Design School is believed by most to be the cutting edge in creativity. Take 20 minutes and review their website (Listed on Moodle under "Assigned Readings"). Try to absorb and understand their approach to creativity. Now write a summary of the Stanford Design School approach on creativity. Do you like or dislike it? Do you agree with their thinking? How might you apply this mindset in your current workplace, or to a new venture you are thinking of starting?
Question 5: After reviewing Stanford's "Bootcamp Bootleg" (the PDF available on the Stanford site, or downloadable on Moodle - listed under "Assigned Readings"). Write a VERY SHORT summary of the Bootcamp Bootleg, then critique it. Do you like or dislike it? Do you agree with their thinking? How might you apply this tool in your current workplace, or to a new venture you are thinking of starting?
Question 6: Explain how you can apply the concepts studied (creativity) to your current job AND to your career.
