Having the opportunity to listen to a lecture by Chris Slesser in the first week was a truly valuable learning experience. As a senior education expert at Creative UK, Slesser not only provided a detailed introduction to the organization's work but also explored how creativity has the potential to change our world.
In the current job market, it seems that positions requiring innovative thinking are rare, with most work being repetitive in nature. Even in fields that demand creativity, such as fashion design, daily tasks are filled with repetition. However, this does not mean that creativity is redundant. In fact, it's often the small proportion of innovative thinking amidst a sea of repetition that drives change and progress.
The advent of the AI era serves as a testament to this. Sam Altman and his team, though initially underestimated, used their innovative thinking to usher in a new era of AI technology. Their journey from modest experiments to technological innovation showcases the immense potential of creative thought.
The value of creativity lies in using small changes to inspire broader transformation. Facing the future, it seems there are endless possibilities. Yet, sustained professional development and adaptability require us to constantly seek and practice new ways of thinking. Slesser's lecture not only enlightened us about the mission of Creative UK but also reminded us that innovation and creative thinking are key to advancing in all fields amid rapid technological progress.
Thus, inspired by Chris Slesser's lecture, we should recognize how important it is to find and apply innovative thinking in our daily repetitive tasks. This is not just for personal career advancement but also for finding our place in an ever-changing world. Creativity, therefore, is not just a skill but a mindset that enables us to adapt to and lead change.
