Title
Identifying Consonance Relationships between Worker and Organization for Fostering Creativity: A Knowledge Based Approach
Abstract
We present our preliminary results in the definition of a model and knowledge based techniques to support creativity by establishing consonance relationships between a worker and the organization. The model is based on the Viable Systems Approach (VSA) and links this theory with Creativity and Open innovation via the definition of proper consonance and resonance relationships. VSA is an interdisciplinary approach grounded on systems thinking and resource-based theory, and focused on methodologies to govern relations among supra-systems and subsystems. Leveraging on the systems perspective of the creativity proposed by Csikszentmihalyi, we defined a way to analyse and understand how the variety introduced by workers in organization can lead to novel and useful products and services. We present also our preliminary results on how a well-defined set of knowledge based methodologies and techniques, resulting from the ARISTOTELE research project, can be applied to this purpose in the context of a Gene lore model. We believe our proposal, i.e. the application of VSA methods combined with knowledge based techniques, can lead to substantial advantages in several areas of Computational Creativity.
