12. work-style heuristic shape your own process

13. the creative software developer the developer’s mental process: recognising and exploiting discovery points a set of personal development competences concerned with both solving problems and recognising opportunities a style of thinking associated with different strengths in individual’s development personalities meta-thinking: recognising predispositions and tendencies in one’s own (and others’ ) thinking and coming beyond them whole-brain thinking: beyond rationality a relationship between the individual developer and communities of people and ideas (domain, field) a state of mind: the way the developer’s mind is disposed when being creative (flow) a universal mental skill to be enhanced

14. work-style heuristic develop your personal creativity

15. the innovative software team negative creativity barriers negative: group dysfunction positive innovation team roles positive: innovation team interaction positive: team learning positive: innovative social patterns positive: accommodation of divergent thinking positive: expertise integration positive: overview, vision, common purpose, shared learning positive: environmental scanning
