What IS "Creativity"?

So during the first class, we discussed on the definition of the word "creativity" itself, and it has always been associated with words such as: newness, ideas, artistic, innocence, post-modern, process etc. There are too many words that can describe/associate with it, but generally, "creativity" is generation of ideas, to have new way of doing things.

Hmmmmm...
In English, to 'create' means to bring into being something that wasn't there before. 

So...someone who can 'create a mess'. That means bring into existence the mess that wasn't there before. Can that someone be considered "creative"?

We hasten to add that what has been brought into existence must have value. So "creativity" is bringing into existence something that has value. 


Anyway, here is "Creativity" according to Edward De Bono :
