September 27, 2011 (Powerhomebiz.com) For many years now, ‘creativity’ has been a hot topic among business and social circles. More than just the latest buzzword or fad, it’s become the most decisive weapon for success in a modern world overrun by change and complexity. Creativity is serious business. So why do so many of us still struggle to apply it in any real or practical way?
While many books have defined the concept of creativity and offered all kinds of hyped up tips and tricks to encourage it, now there’s finally a book that shows readers how to put creativity to work systematically in the real world – with exceptional results.
GRASP The Solution, the latest book by Chris Griffiths, head of ThinkBuzan (the organisation behind Mind Mapping) and creator of iMindMap software, is a refreshingly pragmatic and straight-talking guide to making decisions and solving problems creatively. Chris’s strategy lends a huge helping hand to entrepreneurs who feel they sometimes struggle to make the ‘right’ decisions, are regularly disappointed by the results of their brainstorming sessions or who are at complete loss on how to take their business forward.
Stop Reacting and Start Creating!
In striving to come up with the ‘new and different’, many of us unwittingly stop ourselves being creative. We react to problems, opportunities and challenges with habitual responses and snap judgements that keep us stuck in old patterns and hold us back from applying the limitless creative potential of the ‘whole’ of our brain. Clearly and persuasively, Chris Griffiths shows us how to let go of what’s killing our creativity and outlines a well-developed and scientifically backed system that delivers bold, fresh ideas and solutions for tackling any personal or professional challenge – The GRASP The Solution (GTS) system.
At a time of increasing change and competitiveness worldwide, the system, already in use by CEOs and organisations across the globe, including the United Nations, has been put forward as one of the most effective thinking strategies to boost creative productivity, putting managers and their teams well ahead of the rest. Chris says:
“Just as a business creates strategies, processes and systems to facilitate its success, our thinking needs a proactive and purposeful strategy through which we can bring about the innovative results we want. The system in this book has a solid scientific basis which gives people the practical edge they need to handle all kinds of opportunities and complexities. Once we know how to generate winning ideas on demand, we enter a world of limitless possibilities. We can think wider and get to the right solutions, and we can put those solutions into effect with much greater power and confidence.”
With a well-established track record teaching businesses, charities, schools and individuals around the world to think and work more effectively and inventively, Chris is in a prominent position to provide insight into the processes that encourage ‘different’ thinking. Individuals and businesses who really want to get a ‘grasp’ on creativity can benefit tremendously from using the GTS system to help them set up the best environment, structure and mindset for their creative thinking and decision making.
GRASP The Solution by Chris Griffiths will be published on 19th October 2011 (by Proactive Press) and is currently available for pre-order on Amazon. More information on the book and the author can be found at www.GraspTheSolution.com .
