Digg it UP - Codifying Creativity
Today's topic is going to cover a favorite subject of mine, search engines. I am naming this one How to Dominate the Rankings.Must be asking, what in the world makes you an expert on dominating the rankings? What's your credentials. Your right, I have none and I'm no expert. I'm not sure how to dominate anything but my monkey. It's a joke people, just jokes. What I do know is some of my sites are at the top of the rankings an
The above is an incredibly general example, but you get the idea. And this small case begins to demonstrate how creativity can be made measurable, useable and tangible.

Online dating is becoming one of the most popular dating environment for 21st century singles. 18% of singles are choosing online dating over clubs, pubs and cafes. There are millions of singles approaching each other everyday.If you're a woman, usually you will not have a problem being approached by someone on the net, if you have a genuine profile and picture on a dating site.But if you're a man, then you're in a high
The first question is, what is creativity? What are we trying to codify?
One useful definition of creativity is that it is problem identification and idea generation. Another is the production of a number of diverse and novel ideas. Yet another is the engagement in a number of diverse and novel behaviours.
The second question is, can we measure creativity?
This is necessary, as any codifying must result in measurable change. From the above, we can see that creativity can be measured on a number of levels such as: a) we can measure the number of ideas produced and their diversity and novelty, b) the frequency of idea production over periods, c) the frequency of divergent and novel behaviours engaged in over periods or d) we can ask people to rate themselves as being creative before and after training.
The third question is, what do we mean by codify?
It means to code or organise into a systematic process. From the above, it becomes clear that codifying creativity is possible if we produce systematic processes that produce measurable change in the ways mentioned above.
Now onto the real question then. Can we codify creativity?
Well, yes. If we just set out a number of processes that produce measurable improvement in the ways described above.
What processes?
There are an infinite number and each produces it’s own set of results. By combining, mixing and rearranging, different results occur.
Simple psychological games, such as role-play, can be used. In the Journal of Psychology, businessmen were asked to rate themselves on creativity and they ranked themselves very low. Then, after asking them to pretend they were happy-go-lucky hippies, they re-rated themselves much higher.
Lateral thinking techniques can be used, where the point is to generate ideas without purpose, for the sake of generating ideas, follow seemingly nonsensical pathways and so forth. This simply maximises the quality and quantity of the idea pool.
Linking techniques can be used. Where everyday, novel and diverse objects are used to create connections with the endeavour.
What I have just done is codify creativity. Ask any group to come up with ideas related to a particular problem and they will produce a set quantity. Use the above three (each contains an infinite number of possibilities) and the group will produce more creative output.
Using and extrapolating the above principles (and using more precise techniques), I can, for example, codify processes and structures that make it possible to complete a screenplay very quickly.
The above is an incredibly general example, but you get the idea. And this small case begins to demonstrate how creativity can be made measurable, useable and tangible.

A fateful day is coming when there will be no more advertising, marketing, or public relations. Why? Simple: we're killing our industry by being too successful at it.The communications field keeps finding new ways to send sales messages to target audiences, and by utilizing these new methods to the maximum extent possible, we are strangling the effectiveness of all media. Quite frankly, marketing intrusiveness is out of control

Is marriage becoming an outdated concept in a world of Hollywood-style divorces and disposable spouses? With celebrities filing for divorce almost every other day, and the awful stats on marriage and divorce, it's a wonder that people bother getting hitched in the first place.But, I think the real reason divorce is hitting an all time high, and belief in marriage as an institution is waning, is that the new generation (and youn
