  Creativity, Artificial Intelligence, and a World of Surprises

  Teresa M. Amabile

  In recent years, progress has been made toward AI Creativity, which I define as the production of highly novel, yet appropriate, ideas, problem solutions, or other outputs by autonomous machines. I argue that organizational researchers of creativity and innovation should invest significant energy in studying artificial intelligence and computer-assisted human intelligence, the ways in which they might yield creative breakthroughs, and how those innovations might impact—and be impacted by—workers, consumers, organizations, and society.

  Consensual Assessment

  B. A. Hennessey, J. S. Mueller and T. M. Amabile

  Over time, the field of creativity research has seen a gradual shift away from an almost exclusive emphasis on the creative person towards a more balanced inquiry that centers both on individual difference issues and questions about the nature of creative products and the conditions that facilitate the creation of those products. The consensual assessment technique (CAT) allows for the assessment of the relative creativity of products and is based on the assumption that a panel of independent raters, persons who have not had the opportunity to confer with one another and who have not been trained by the researcher, are best able to make such judgments. Over 40 years of research have clearly established that product creativity can be reliably and validly assessed based on the consensus of experts. Although creativity in a product may be difficult to characterize in terms of specific features, it is something that people can recognize and agree upon when they see it.

  How Honest Conversations Can Accelerate Corporate Transformation

  Michael Beer

  When CEOs engage a cross section of their key people in an honest conversation about organizational strengths and barriers to the execution of strategic changes required by the changing competitive landscape, transformations are accelerated. The honest conversation provides a valuable wide-angle lens for examining and changing the company’s system of organizing, managing, and leading. This article describes how an honest conversation led by Becton Dickinson’s CEO Vince Forlenza improved the company’s capability to innovate rapidly and simultaneously increased trust and commitment to change.
