Ir. Katrina Heijne is researcher and lecturer at the Design, Organisation and Strategy (DOS) department at the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering. As part of the minor Connected Creativityand the master course 'Creative Facilitation' she developed several courses and master classes to enhance creativity in a deliberate way in individuals, groups and organization. Her approach to groups creativity is described in the practical handbook: Road Map for Creative Problem Solving Techniques. Her view on individual creativity is captured in the Dutch book: 101 ideeën voor ideeën. The rise of AI is a great opportunity to further specify what creativity exactly is.
