Listen in to learn how Albert defines creativity from a corporate perspective and breaks down the specific skills that will be needed for creativity in the future. He shares his thoughts on how creativity and creative thinking can be taught and the important role of inclusivity and diversity of thought in facilitating creative environments. Albert also speaks on the value in collaborating disciplines (school subjects) as well as his perspective of the benefits of public/private partnerships, like IBM’s P-TECH internship program.
“What I look for is how do we bring more thinking, more different thinking, constructive thinking? And often, you get that from different perspectives.” – Albert Schneider
Albert’s Tips for Teachers and Parents:
- You need to be inclusive. Find a way to reach out to every single student.
- Be positive from the perspective of encouragement. Not everything is right, but show them how they can do better.
- Give students a framework and a space where they can fail. Most things are perfected only after multiple failures.
