In a world of rapid change, Creativity is more than a luxury. It is a basic survival skill.
Just as artists use various tools and instruments, creative thinkers also use tools to extend their creative powers.
I have experimented and received advanced training in various systems for expanding creativity, and found one that for me outperforms the others in terms of flexibility and productivity.
This system is called the Mandala Chart, and it was developed by my friend and associate Matsumura Yasuo, who has been producing products and researching uses of the Manadala Chart for over 30 years.
Although the method was briefly introduced in English by Michael Michalko, author of CRACKING CREATIVITY: The Secrets of Creative Genius, very little has yet been written in English on this marvelous method. Michael Michalko’s article at Innovationtools.com is a helpful introduction to what he calls the Lotus Blossom Technique.
I prefer to call it the Mandala Chart, as it is called in Japanese, and as a member of the newly formed association to promote Mandala-style thinking, I plan to become actively involved in its promotion.
Look forward to tips and applications to help you use Mandala-style thinking to enhance your creativity and productivity.
I will be presenting at the seminar launching Matsumura Sensei’s new book on January 23. For further information, check the Mandala link on my Mac site.
