PIA - Where do you feel most creative?

This is another discussion we have had during our course.

Environment plays a critical role in many people's creative thinking. Some of us get energized at the beach, while others prefer a comfy chair in a darkened room. To start our journey together, we would love to know what your ideal creative space looks like?

My answer

While I strongly agree the environment plays an important role in our creative thinking, it is a myth that creative thinking is a spark influenced by the environment. Having said that I get creative ideas when I think I need to be creative irrespective of the place, but I'm good at creative thinking while discussing with friends on the subject other than the business. I feel this is due to the nature of association I can make with my problem context and the discussion point which is completely irrelevant.

When I conduct the innovation workshop and facilitation, I like to keep the environment colorful by full of colored charts around, giving them gizmo to play, which intern makes things little creative.
