The term Synectics from the Greek word synectikos which means "bringing forth together" or "bringing different things into unified connection."
Since creativity involves the coordination of things into new structures, every creative thought or action draws on synectic thinking.
Creative behavior occurs in the process of becoming aware of problems, deficiencies, gaps in knowledge, missing elements, disharmonies, bringing together in new relationships available information; identifying the missing elements; searching for solutions, making guesses, or formulating hypotheses. |
