    Imagination, also called the faculty of imagining, is


    the creative ability to form images, ideas, and sensations
    in the mind without direct input from the senses, such as
    seeing or hearing.

    Children more imaginative than


    adults?

    Imagine
    You're 7 years old. All the classes stand
    cancelled tomorrow.

    What would you do? Where would


    you go? Who would you see?

    Imagine

    Back to PGP audi, IIM-K!


    All the classes stand cancelled tomorrow.
    What would you do? Where would you
    go? Who would you see?

    Observations
    A study was conducted several years ago by Darya Zabelina and
    Michael Robinson of North Dakota State University. The psychologists
    divided a large group of undergraduates into two groups.
    The second group was given the same prompt minus the first sentence.
    This means they didnt imagine themselves as seven years old they
    remained in their adult mindset.
    Next, the psychologists asked their subjects to take ten minutes to write
    a response. Afterwards the subjects were given various tests of
    creativity, such as inventing alternative uses for an old tire, or
    completing incomplete sketches. (As well as other tasks from the
    Torrance test of creativity.) Zabelina and Robinson found that,
    individuals in the mindset condition involving childlike thinking
    exhibited higher levels of creative originally than did those in the
    control condition. This effect was especially pronounced with subjects
    who identify themselves as introverts.

    Close to50 percentof our waking


    hours are spent daydreaming
    So why not make those visions worth
    your while?

    What enables imagination


    isconsciousnessand the
    totality of our experience.

    The imagination, in other words, is


    acombinational phenomenon of
    experience and consciousness

    Kind of like LEGOs!


    The more of these building
    blocks we have, and the more
    diverse their shapes and
    colors, the more interesting
    our castles will become.

    Imagination is the key to unlocking the

    biggest secrets of life. And I have talked about the


    power and scope of imagination.

    But how do people sustain it?


    How does an organization make sure that it gets the
    best of its employees imaginative powers?
    Lets find out.

    Visionaries: Imagining the future

    The man who will use his skill and constructive imagination to see how much he can
    give for a dollar, instead of how little he can give for a dollar, is bound to succeed.

    Visionaries: Imagining the future

    Imagination is more important than knowledge.


    Knowledge is limited; Imagination encircles the world.

    Visionaries: Imagining the future

    Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

    and when all these


    practices are in place

    Imagining transformative workplaces

    When imagination becomes a Way of


    life

    And else, even the giants fail

    In the end

    We humans are hardwired to imagined and innovate

    Its our imagination which created this amazing world around us

    In this competitive world, success depends on how better you


    imagine

    The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be
    able to do it.
