Definition of creativity
“A product or response will be judged as creative to the extent that (a) it is both a novel and appropriate, useful, correct or valuable response to the task at hand and (b) the task is heuristic rather than algorithmic”

Heuristic tasks: no clear goal or no obvious path to solution

additions:
  • production of ideas that are both novel and useful
  • key precursor to innovation
  • creative ideas can relate to work procedures, products, services and organizing structures
