Creative Change and the ancient art of juggling

It might be said that creativity is a blend of science and art. Documented several times and over may years, the creative process is well understood and yet still mysterious. The diagram shows several of the common process descriptions, in it’s simplest form Helmholtz three phase model; Preparation, Incubation and Illumination, through to the more detailed 4 and 5 phase models. Each model showing the definer’s focus area as being either preparatory work or the transformation of the creative idea into reality, but all having a period of Incubation, the void from which the answer arises. And herein lies the art.

Similarly Personal and organizational Change, or more specifically Transition, is a process which has been well documented. Bearing a lot of resemblance to the grief process, where the steps include: Awareness, Fear, Guilt, Denial, Depression, Acceptance and then finally the change. Our emotive responses through the course of the change depend on several things including our attachment to the previous state or condition and upon our previous experiences. At times these responses may appear quite random simply because each of us individually will respond to stimuli differently and so to our emotional responses are different.

It is interesting to note here that the creative process period of incubation (an opportunity for the conscious mind to rest) and the apparently random emotional responses in the change process (subject to the brain patterning of each individual based upon the response to past experiences) both appear to be subjects of the realm of the subconscious, that which is just beneath the surface.

Whatever else may be said of these two processes it is increasingly evident that organizations are facing more and more change than ever before and at a faster rate, coupled with a need to remain creative and ensure a competitive advantage.

So what is it that Juggling may provide to these arena’s of the organizations life? Perhaps more than your might think.

Let us begin with Creativity’s “Incubation” period.

The best incubation period is one which removes the conscious mind completely from the object task. For example sleeping, a complete removal of the conscious mind from the task at hand, has often been reported as assisting in providing the ideas for a solution. Sporting activities such as walking, jogging, or the gym have also shown a similar result. Less healthy pastimes such as a quick smoke are often described as “time to think” by the user. What juggling offers here is a chance to step away from the computer, take a break from the task at hand, and put the conscious energies of the mind to work on another task. The incubation period require that the conscious mind be completely removed from the object task otherwise incubation will not take place. Juggling does this without using to much of the day, and in a healthy manner.

Next the cultivation of creativity in an environment has also been documented to require a healthy does of fun. Fun helps the mind release all sort of great hormones that help relieve stress and increase relaxation. Juggling is fun, while remaining challenging .

Now on to the process of change. If you consider what juggling is; establishing a routine throwing pattern and then changing it, Juggling is all about change. Beyond the obvious change that is required, recent studies in the UK have found that “learning to juggle boosts brain connections by making structural changes in the white matter of the brain” source www.Medicalnewstoday.com  This change in wiring between the left and right hemispheres improves the ability to juggle smoothly. Also interestingly the left and right hemispheres control the logical and creative faculties respectively.

As you begin to establish routines and then learn to break them by adding tricks you are in fact establishing habits and then changing them. You are practicing change on a small scale with little or no risk (maybe the ego if your trying to impress others, but then a little humility goes a long way).

The two lessons most readily observed when learning to juggle are our personal response to failure, dropping the ball, and to frustration, dropping it again, and again, and again. When driving organizational change we are almost certainly going to make mistakes along the way and come up against frustrating circumstances. Juggling provides a low risk activity in which we can observe our own responses and test strategies to deal with them as they arise.

And so while I don’t suppose to say that juggling is the answer for all organizational changes nor the ultimate weapon in the search for better innovation, it can be a tool which may add value to your organizations people, processes and products.
