Creativity and the human skill AI can't replicate (Day 3) | Open to Work

Creativity isn't a talent some people have and others don't, it's a skill. In day three of this special five-part series, Helen and Aneesh Rahman explore the third C, creativity, and why it's becoming one of the highest-value human skills in an age when AI can generate generic content at scale.

From Pixar's science of storytelling to the neuroscience of flow, this is a conversation that will change how you think about your own creativity, and how to bring more of it to your team.

🎯 What You'll Learn

– Why AI making generic creative content widely available actually raises the premium on human creativity
– What the neuroscience of flow tells us about when we're at our creative best (and what gets in the way)
– Why creativity is a team sport, and what that means for how you design your working week
– A simple question to ask in your team: when are you at your creative best and what contributes to it?
– One practical thing anyone can do right now to build their creative muscle, even if they don't feel creative at all
