"No one ever told me that creativity is a skill." This comment by an executive who was taking our recent M&A course at The University of Chicago Booth School of Business really caught my attention.

Combining Creative Thinking with Critical Thinking is a superpower. It leads to better M&A deals and outcomes.

We are good at teaching critical thinking skills. We give lots of tools and frameworks to support analytical thinking and good judgment.

We haven't taught creative thinking skills. This is where I am focusing my research.

I'd be very grateful if you emailed HOW you develop your creativity. Especially creativity used for business.
