This video is filmed and edited by Università Telematica Internazionale UNINETTUNO www.uninettunouniversity.net.
Corazza is a full-time professor at the Alma Mater Studiorum at the University of Bologna, a member of the Executive Council, and the founder of the Marconi Institute of Creativity. He teaches science and the applications of creative thinking. Why/Which/How/Where/What/When/Experiment. A quick jump out of the box is more insight ful than a lifetime of standard thinking.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

  • For all those who missed his points, here is the video summary: 1:17 - To be creative, you need to practice out-of-the-box thinking. 5:30 - Be aware of your assumptions. Unfounded assumptions prevent you from thinking creatively. 6:25 - Value Long Thinking; judge ideas by how they fit as an ensemble, not individually. You can only do this with patience. 7:07 - Apply theories and concepts to areas that were never applied to before. 7:17 - Creative thinking is about finding many alternatives and choosing the best answer, not about finding the right* answer. 9:15 - If your environment punishes mistakes, you will never be creative. 9:50 - Combine different disciplines to create new ideas using metaphors.

    Im a kid and I learned to keep going with ideas that sound crazy to make them possible

    This was super helpful! What I got out of it: 1. Identify commonly agreed upon elements of something 2. Freely change one or more of those elements without critique, until you land on something that is excitingly feasible
  • I am Italian and I can say it is a pleasure to listen to an Italian who speaks great English. Chapeau.

    First, learn all of the rules Second, break all of the rules

    it's way easier to talk, live, walk, breath inside box rather than outside the box.. but this man has had a creative topic to share in a very logical way and i thank him very much for the nice talk..
  • 7:16 "When you think creatively there's no single answer, there are many possible alternatives" -Giovanni Corazza This is GOLD
  • This speech is really a life changing. There are a lot of lessons we can learn from this man speaking infront of different people who are facing different challenges in life. Thanks to this man who proudly speaks to encourage a lot of people not just the audience watching out there but also someone like who's watching through my phone. Hope you continue motivating people in the future!
  • @worldshaper1723
    He took time to get into his main point, and it was totally worth it.
  • @rafaanimir8820
    I think his talk was very structured ,yes he took time to make his point clear ,but he was building an understanding so each one of us can asses his main point clearly ,amazing talk ,enjoyed it!
  • A very important topic. He spoke clearly, loud and with all the modulations. He seems to follow all the rules of good public speaking, but half way through i just wanted to run away from my phone. I watched Ted regularly but this guy has spooked me. I will come back to this video, later, and try to understand why I felt like that. Something very important to learn here about how a sincere talk can go so wrong! A clinical case study.

    >>The market cycle still hasn't met its balance, we keep going round in circles while waiting for that bullish run on a great support. However, in the mean time we could always ignore the market ups and downs and stay fully invested.

    Why do i feel like we are all going to be succesful if we watched this ))) Anyway I hope we can all use our imaginations and create interesting things 💞. Good luck guys !!
  • @Bolloface
    Very helpful, thanks. A clear and practical explanation of the creative process at work. "The courage to think outside the box. The courage to play."
  • I don't know what these other comments are talking about. I'm typically a person who gets bored easily and has trouble paying attention. And maybe, in the beginning, for like half a minute that was the case, but then what he was actually talking about has worth. He put it simply, gave the procedure to which to bring about being more creative, and then invited people to go through the procedure as an example. I have watched many videos which make a lot of claims, but this was one that was actually really helpful, and it didn't have to be elaborate or have any additions of visuals- what he had to share was worthy in itself, and he made sure to address how it could be brought about.
  • @11uja
    to anyone saying this man gave a bad talk, i don't think you're listening to his words closely enough.
  • @Elsiemotivates
    Really awesome talk. It allows one to think way beyond the current situation and or conditions. More these talks can certainly be very life changing and rewarding.
  • I stuck to get ideas. Because I thought, I lacked of creativity. But while I was watching this, I learned how to get those ideas. That's very helpful.
