Exam CBAP topic 1 question 194 discussion

Creative thinking is about generating innovative ideas, considering new possibilities, and applying them effectively. B. Generation of a pre-determined number of new ideas is incorrect because creativity cannot be measured by hitting a fixed number of ideas. The focus should be on quality, relevance, and applicability of the ideas rather than a specific quantity.

In BABOK, creative thinking is valued when it results in: The application of new ideas to solve existing problems. Stakeholder openness to new approaches and ideas. The productive consideration of those ideas for their effectiveness. Thus, Option B (Generation of a pre-determined number of new ideas for a business solution) is not a valid measure of effective creative thinking according to BABOK v3, as the focus should be on the quality and applicability of ideas, not their quantity.

The value that is NOT a measurement of effective creative thinking is: B. Generation of a pre-determined number of new ideas for a business solution. While generating a predetermined number of new ideas can be a part of the creative thinking process, it doesn't necessarily guarantee effectiveness. What effective creative thinking IS: The effectiveness of creative thinking should be measured based on the practical application of new ideas to solve existing problems (option A), the willingness of stakeholders to accept new approaches (option C), and the successful generation and productive consideration of new ideas (option D).
