How to Boost Your Creativity [Infographic]

For many professionals, the opportunity to innovate at work is something to relish. Research has found that creative fulfilment is central to job satisfaction, with one survey finding that 78% of people believe that creativity makes a profound difference in their lives.

Yet even though organisations are full of brilliant people brimming with creative ideas, many employees find the procedural corporate environment stifling and rigid. After a few years, it becomes all too easy to get stuck in a rut.

With industry 4.0 looming over our heads and with more and more tasks being automated, key human skills such as creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving are set to become only more vital for individuals and organisations alike. This appears to be a truth universally acknowledged with 60% of CEOs stating that creativity is the most important skill for leaders and 80% of the general population identifying it as critical for economic growth.

Bearing all of this in mind, the question that we as professionals must ask is: how can I unlock and enhance my creativity at work? Fortunately, the team at Davitt Corporate Partners have put together a helpful infographic guide featuring a number of quick and easy creativity hacks. 

For example, did you know that going for a long walk can boost creativity by an average of 60%? Scientific research has revealed that walking elevates levels of molecules that stimulate the growth of new neurons and transmit messages between them.

Another good idea is to drink a cup of black tea. This increases creativity by making the drinker feel more relaxed and this is the optimum state for getting creative.
