Creative thinking for new applications and ideas
O*NET Thinking Creatively develops new applications, ideas, relationships, systems, or products. GIS scores novel reframing on tagged beats with qualification guardrails.
Creative thinking that scores opens a workable new angle, not a random brainstorm.
What it is
Creative thinking uses library ID creative_thinking in Adaptability with curiosity proxy.
Why it matters in enablement

How we measure
Rubrics on creative-tagged beats reward novel reframing tied to scene goals and feasible next steps.
Deal craft scene
Deal IQ competitive and value beats score reframing when differentiation requires new angle.
Team craft scene
Team IQ retro beats score creative process fixes after validation, not during heat.
Practice in simulation
