creativity

Creativity in the idSpace context concerns new product development. It starts with the creativity abilities of individuals to proceed via collaborative learning from each other to co-creation of new knowledge. In this process individual learning merges with the learning process of the group, in which individuals communicate their ideas, learn from the ideas of others and co-create new ideas.
