CREATIVITY
Competent Team Members: Each individual in the team should have the relevant
domain expertise, creative thinking skills and intrinsic task motivation. Therefore
when selecting the members for a team one should focus on these qualities. The
creative thinking skill manifests itself as problem solving, managing ambiguity,
perseverance and self-discipline.
Inspiring Vision: A simple ambitious objective that is shared by the team helps to
outline the spirit and to set the direction. For example 3Ms vision of developing
technology that advance every company, products that enhance every home and
innovation that improves life, goes a long way in giving a sustainable purpose to
each employee of the organization.
Team Conflict: Research studies indicate that moderate level of disagreement
among the team members during formative stages of team development
enhances the creativity and performance of the team. A moderate degree of
cognitive conflict stimulates divergent thinking and brings forth the different
perspectives challenging the old ways of doing things.
First applications of the Delphi method were in the field of science and
technology forecasting. The objective of the method was to combine
expert opinions on likelihood and expected development time, of the
particular technology, in a single indicator.
Later the Delphi method was applied in other areas, especially those
related to public policy issues, such as economic trends, health and
education. It was also applied successfully and with high accuracy in
business forecasting.
The Delphi method has also been used as a tool to implement multi-
stakeholder approaches for participative policy-making in developing
countries.
Repeat as necessary
Prior to starting, the group leader should prepare and present, in writing
and verbally, the question that the group will consider during their meeting.
A well-thought-out question will help generate a wealth of potential ideas.
The leader will encourage participants to silently and independently write
ideas in brief phrases.
The benefits of silent generation include:
Allows adequate time for thinking and reflection through recall
Promotes social facilitation (e.g., seeing others hard at work)
Avoids interruptions, undue focus on one idea, and competition, as well
as status and conformance pressures or choosing prematurely between
ideas
Promotes a problem-centered focus
In this step, the group leader goes around the table and records one idea from each
participant on the flip chart. The ideas should be recorded verbatim with little to no
paraphrasing by the leader. However, leaders are allowed to ask questions for
clarification of the idea. The process continues until all ideas have been recorded. When
a participant is out of ideas, they should indicate by passing.
The benefits of the round-robin recording are that it:

Ranking method: When ranking items, each participant is asked to choose roughly half
of the total number of ideas generated, and to rank these from most important to least
important. This process will place emphasis on fewer ideas. In preparation for recording
the vote, the leader should list the number of each idea on a separate piece of paper.
When the actual votes are recorded, she/he will record the rank assigned by each
participant to the idea, as seen in the example below.
