Divergence vs. Convergence: Finding Balance for Productivity and Innovation
Understanding the concepts of divergence and convergence can help individuals make informed decisions about using new research or existing knowledge. People tend to lean towards either divergence or convergence; divergent individuals explore ideas freely but may struggle to complete tasks, while convergent individuals are practical and good at finishing tasks but may find it challenging to be open-minded. Recognizing one's bias towards divergence or convergence can enable productive collaborations with individuals who have the opposite tendency. By being aware of their current mode, individuals can harness the power of both divergence and convergence for increased productivity and innovation.
