As a creative I approach problem solving from a wholeness perspective which tends to be discounted in the current societal status quo. The Creatives are often the most ignored and discarded people in our society because of the overarching economic superstructures. the creatives are often plundered after being subdued and beaten down. Ideas are often taken from these types of people and used in a right brain manner by the status quo leaders, which distorts the original idea and decreases its effective implementation. In other words the intended outcomes are perverted and create a corresponding cascade effect of unintended consequences. American society at present is experiencing this at the macro level which is one reason as to why society has become so chaotic, bitter and disjointed. This is the result of discouragement and control mechanisms. The consequences are innumerable. I agree with the basic premise of this article.

Wow! How creative He is and chose woman for the formation/womb/birthing process. However, she was not originally intended to have hard labor, not before her fall. I wonder what from the make up of "woman" can be/must be redeemed and implemented for the birthing, nursing, and nurturing those things needing action? Yet He knew them (the little creations) before they came out of their mother's wombs.... I tend to lean towards being artistically strong yet I must continually ask God what He is creating, so I won't be tempted to try and solve or even create for that matter.

Very cool. This is a good challenge and does address the bane of problem solving with creativity. In Matthew May's (formerly a master instructor with Toyota) 7 Sins of Solutions, which I think is an excerpt from his book Elegant Solutions, he takes a breakthrough approach to problem solving. He proposes we apply pressure to our rutted thinking and incubate versus implement. Great advice for me as I can be a knee-jerk, 'let's tweak an old solution for this problem" kind of guy. Sounds like we're all tracking but problem solving is a significant part of my world, so my initial response was to push back. But, this makes sense in some new ways for me. Ok. Very cool.

I wonder if this is why the poets, writers and artists sometimes have more influence and impact than their left-brained counterparts? Being able to visualize and communicate what could be is more important than being able to diagnose what is. I love this concept.
