NARMADA COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION FORUM
“Creativity
is seeing what everyone else has seen, and thinking what no one else has
thought.”
– Albert Einstein
The
Discussion Forum at NCM met on 30th July, 2021. The session was on
Critical and Creative thinking. It began with discussing the concept of
critical thinking and fallacies in our thinking process. Dr. Shah presented the
concept of Creative thinking, its meaning and significance in the knowledge
economy. The future is unexpected. Creativity will enable us to deal with
uncertainties and chart the best course forward. Those of us with a strong
creative bent will be equipped to create value even when situations change and
resources are constrained as the world around us changes swiftly.
