Creative thinking - how to get out of the box and generate ideas: Giovanni Corazza at TEDxRoma

Corazza is a full-time professor at the Alma Mater Studiorum at the University of Bologna, a member of the Executive Council, and the founder of the Marconi Institute of Creativity. He teaches science and the applications of creative thinking. Why/Which/How/Where/What/When/Experiment. A quick jump out of the box is more insight ful than a lifetime of standard thinking.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

For all those who missed his points, here is the video summary:

1:17 - To be creative, you need to practice out-of-the-box thinking.
5:30 - Be aware of your assumptions. Unfounded assumptions prevent you from thinking creatively.
6:25 - Value Long Thinking; judge ideas by how they fit as an ensemble, not individually. You can only do this with patience.
7:07 - Apply theories and concepts to areas that were never applied to before.
7:17 - Creative thinking is about finding many alternatives and choosing the best answer, not about finding the right* answer.
9:15 - If your environment punishes mistakes, you will never be creative.
9:50 - Combine different disciplines to create new ideas using metaphors.

Im a kid and I learned to keep going with ideas that sound crazy to make them possible

[JoeSims]

First, learn all of the rules
Second, break all of the rules

I am Italian and I can say it is a pleasure to listen to an Italian who speaks great English. Chapeau.

This was super helpful! What I got out of it:
1. Identify commonly agreed upon elements of something
2. Freely change one or more of those elements without critique, until you land on something that is excitingly feasible

This speech is really a life changing. There are a lot of lessons we can learn from this man speaking infront of different people who are facing different challenges in life. Thanks to this man who proudly speaks to encourage a lot of people not just the audience watching out there but also someone like who's watching through my phone. Hope you continue motivating people in the future!

I watch this because I don't know what to build in minecraft.

Why do i feel like we are all going to be succesful if we watched this ))) Anyway I hope

He took time to get into his main point, and it was totally worth it.

[hakimable]

it's way easier to -talk, live, walk, breath- inside box rather than outside the box..
but this man has had a creative topic to share in a very logical way and i thank him very much for the nice talk..

[jasminehuynh]

I don't know what these other comments are talking about. I'm typically a person who gets bored easily and has trouble paying attention. And maybe, in the beginning, for like half a minute that was the case, but then what he was actually talking about has worth. He put it simply, gave the procedure to which to bring about being more creative, and then invited people to go through the procedure as an example. I have watched many videos which make a lot of claims, but this was one that was actually really helpful, and it didn't have to be elaborate or have any additions of visuals- what he had to share was worthy in itself, and he made sure to address how it could be brought about.

>>The market cycle still hasn't met its balance, we keep going round in circles while waiting for that bullish run on a great support. However, in the mean time we could always ignore the market ups and downs and stay fully invested. Big thanks to *ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER* for helping me earned over 17>btc by implementing her methods and following her guides

“Resist killing your own ideas” powerful, thank you. This was a great talk 👍

[stefichintiasimatupang]

I stuck to get ideas. Because I thought, I lacked of creativity. But while I was watching this, I learned how to get those ideas. That's very helpful.

[MohammedAnsariRiz]

A very important topic. He spoke clearly, loud and with all the modulations. He seems to follow all the rules of good public speaking, but half way through i just wanted to run away from my phone. I watched Ted regularly but this guy has spooked me. I will come back to this video, later, and try to understand why I felt like that. Something very important to learn here about how a sincere talk can go so wrong! A clinical case study.

[uja]

to anyone saying this man gave a bad talk, i don't think you're listening to his words closely enough.

[rafaanimir]

I think his talk was very structured, yes he took time to make his point clear, but he was building an understanding so each one of us can asses his main point clearly, amazing talk, enjoyed it!

I personally discovered how to think out of the box by travelling around the world, living, studying, working among people of different cultures with different perspectives of life and death, happiness, and knowledge. I understood that there is actually nothing absolute in this world but rather everything is relative. As Marcus Aurelius put it long time ago: "Everything you hear is an opinion, not the truth. Everything you see is a perspective, not reality."

[Bolloface]

Very helpful, thanks.
A clear and practical explanation of the creative process at work.
"The courage to think outside the box. The courage to play."
