Unlocking Creativity explores the creative process and how businesses may foster innovation. Creative people frequently encounter obstinate opposition to novel concepts in companies. Because of their misguided loyalty to the status quo, managers and executives frequently reject innovation and innovative approaches. There is often strong opposition to challenging dominant beliefs or raising doubts about established procedures. Ideas that have the potential to change the game are completely rejected in this environment of stunted creativity and rigid devotion to traditional thinking. Although they frequently lack the expertise to offer a creative framework, senior executives profess to value creativity. The book Unlocking Creativity provides practical advice and real-world examples of how the most prosperous businesses foster an environment that encourages experimentation and creativity.

Tips and techniques to unlock creativity
Here are strategies to help you become a creative thinker and unleash your creativity:
Accept curiosity
Imagination is greatly influenced by curiosity. Thus, make a ton of inquiries. Begin frequently asking “How?” and “Why?” Be modest, study books, listen to or attend lectures, take up new hobbies, get out and experience new things, and approach the world with an open mind.
Take Part in Divergent Thinking
Divergent thinking is the process of coming up with several ideas or answers. Engage in divergent thinking activities like thought mapping, free writing, and brainstorming. Examine alternative viewpoints, question presumptions, and think beyond the box.
Excite your senses
Using your senses might help you be more imaginative and creative. Surround yourself with things that inspire you, whether it’s art, music, the outdoors, or even particular smells. To introduce yourself to novel sights, sounds, and textures, visit museums, art galleries, or nature settings. Utilize “turn on” cues to activate your imagination.
