The Learning Objective CEU Podcast
Season 1, Episode 05 Show Notes
Why true creativity doesn’t come from “light bulb moments.”
In this episode, we connect with Alanna Call, creative lead and storyteller at CID Design Group. She identifies the external pressures that are making it difficult for creativity to flourish in the design industry. And she shares the unique ways in which how her hospitality and branding firm is cultivating creativity — including placing a special importance on research and future-proofing.
Our second guest is Keith Sawyer, professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a creativity researcher who has spent the past 10 years studying how people become designers and architects at universities. He describes common features of creative groups across disciplines and explains how four elements — technology, expectations, expertise, and deadlines — are currently constraining creativity.
After listening, you will be able to:
- Identify the constraints happening in the world around us that are impacting creativity.
- Assess how design teams can find creativity and innovation despite outside pressures.
- Examine real-life examples of harnessing creativity “on demand” in projects.
- Evaluate ways that groups can have the greatest creative output.
