ABSTRACT

Venturing into unknown worlds is a creative process. This chapter describes the generic creative process (which applies to processes at every scale) from the perspective of the kitchen at Sherborne. The generic creative cycle was developed by Centre for Management Creativity and also subsequently tested with many management teams. What the author have called the Creative Cycle is a simple take on a subtle and powerful pattern of process called the enneagram (from the Greek, meaning a nine-sided figure). Though its source is enigmatic, the enneagram was taught by Gurdjieff to his followers in St Petersburg more than a 100 years ago before he brought it to the west in the 1920s. There are two branches of enneagram studies, one of which is focused on structure of processes. The other one is focused on personality types. The enneagram reveals a generic structure that can stimulate exploratory conversations about processes at any scale and for any discipline.
