Creative competency – a set of attitudes, resources, and behaviors that enable individuals to apply their creativity and knowledge to solve a broad range of issues – is critical to creating breakthrough innovations. Thinking creatively, cultivating a supportive environment with radical collaboration, and building on those values enhances traditional academic pursuits, stimulates effective problem solving, and fosters new ideas.

No Limits™ at Oceanit was pleased to host Bill Burnett, Executive Director of the Institute of Design at Stanford University, an innovative program that has created international awareness of “human-centered” design. Bill shared Stanford’s insights on creative competency in education, and why it is essential to building a competitive 21st century workforce. The Stanford D-School has pioneered a teachable approach to creative problem solving that has been applied to a broad range of issues, including evolving technology to benefit humans and society, organizational change management, and process re-engineering.
