We often hear about the importance of IQ and EQ. But how often do we wonder about one’s CQ? CQ stands for creative quotient, an important parameter for any innovation. CQ plays an equally important role in building an organisation as IQ and EQ do.
But as we grow old and tend to become slaves to processes, we keep losing our creative abilities. What are the attributes that make one creative? How does one build it? Why is it important? In today's conversation with an innovation specialist, Mr. Andrew Grant, we answer your questions.
Andrew Grant is the founder and director of Tirian, an organisation specialising in building innovative leadership and culture. An innovation and transformation specialist, Andrew Grant is also a co-author of two books on innovation and creativity.
He talks about creative intelligence, which, unlike IQ and EQ, is a very fluid thing to measure. He describes creativity as bringing two unrelated things together to make something better.
