Creative Thinking

Innovative thinking: out of the box

FGT firmly believes that the innovation brought about by innovative thinking in every business drives growth. Thinking out-of-the-box can greatly increase the level of innovation within a business. Albert Einstein has pointed out that "the true mark of wisdom is not knowledge, but imagination". So, by thinking out of the box, good ideas and practical solutions can be created.

Four-step innovation process

FGT guarantees that by using the four steps of innovative thinking, businesses will be able to get more out of their creativity and they will realize the importance of innovation

Define goals for applicable and usable innovations. At the same time, employees must be trained to understand the need for innovation
Launch innovation workshops to encourage employees to engage in lateral thinking processes. This will help them understand the importance of innovation
Implement new ideas at an early stage of development so that possible resistance is minimized and employees will be better equipped to deal with changes
Assess the application and progress of innovations

repeat

After the fourth step has been performed, the first step of the loop can be started again.
In this repetition, informing employees of the need to innovate becomes less important because they are used to this innovative thought process. It is even possible for new ideas to arise naturally

Application

Some businesses use creativity techniques to implement "innovative thinking" that encourages creativity in their employees. Finding new combinations of technological opportunities and market demands is a challenge. In order to develop a "golden idea", it is necessary to have good support within the organization to realize the detailed concept. Those who support innovation have a decisive influence on the way people form opinions. External parties are an important factor in success, which is why they are advised to be involved in the innovation process.
