For over a century, creativity has unfolded as a valuable field of
knowledge. Emerging from disciplines like psychology, management
and education, the field of creativity is making strides in others
including the arts and engineering. Research and education in this
field helped it establish an identity as evidenced by a growing
number of courses and specialised journals. However, this progress
has come with a price. In a domain like management,
institutionalisation of creativity in learning, research and
practice has left creativity subordinated to concerns with
standardisation, employability and economic growth. Values like
personal fulfilment, uncertainty, improvement and connectedness
which could characterise systemic views on creativity need to be
rescued to promote more and inclusive dialogue between creativity
stakeholders. The author aims to recover the importance of
creativity as a systemic phenomenon and explores how applied
systems thinking, or AST, can further support creativity. This
demonstrates how creative efforts could be directed to improve
quality of life for individuals as well as their environments. The
book uses the systems idea as an enquiring device to bring together
different actors to promote refl ection and action about creative
possibilities. The chapters offer conceptualisations, applications
and refl ections of systems ideas to help readers make sense of the
field of creativity in academia and elsewhere. Complemented by the
author's own personal, conceptual and practical journey, the
insights of the book will act as a vital toolkit for management
researchers, career-driven students, practitioners and all creators
to define and pursue creative ideas and thrive through their
journeys to benefit themselves, other people and organisations.
