There is more. Lyman (1989) describes some of the other aspects of creativity, and counsels for circumspection about what the encounter with creativity entails. On the one hand, to be creative people do not need to be taught anything new, only to have resurrected the child-like mind, a spirit of wonder and the natural curiosity they have shut away. Creativity entails being able to make mistakes, to fail, to shed conformity. 1) that follow are distinctive: are these really what organisations want to contemplate encouraging and developing among their workforce?
As well as giving weight to an appropriate aesthetic appreciation it also involves understanding users and their needs, for creativity is not the free act of an independent individual. It is a social act, learned in close contact with others and practised in specific social relations. Novices need apprenticeships, for in seeking to be creative they often begin by offering solutions of great complexity but eventually recognise the need to keep things as simple as possible. They move from overly self-conscious and introspective thinking to being more unselfconscious and ‘action based’.
This is perhaps the true aesthetic approach. Here the analysis is not confined to, or centred on, using conventional logical methods. Rather, each and every aspects of the aesthetic investigation of organisational life, everything from deciding a focus for research to the way the research is communicated, is determined and driven by a researcher’s personal, active, aesthetic sense and faculties. These approaches to aesthetics analysis are, in effect, variations on forms of ethnographic research, but concerned with apprehending, through the specifically aesthetic rather than the broadly anthropological, a community’s beliefs, values, practices and artefacts.
