Roger Firestien offers the benefits he sees in approaching a problem from a creative stand point. He discusses the different forms of creativity. Some prefer thinking outside the box and taking risks. Others prefer incremental improvement, making it a system or a process. The latter usually comes from a superior or management position. Young creatives can take advantage of this systematic approach by categorizing their innovative ideas.
