Some people like to distinguish between creativity and innovation . Some say that creativity is getting the idea, while innovation is doing something about it .
But one definition I like is very simple: Creativity is novelty that is useful. I like this definition because it expresses the tension that occurs when we talk about creativity . Most of us agree that a “creative” thing must be new or unique or novel . But the solution also has to work . The solution has to solve a problem, even if it is solving a problem only for the creator of the idea . So one working definition for creativity is this: Novelty that is useful .5
