The Event

Join us on November 17 at Yale Center Beijing to explore paths to creativity and innovation with Yale Professor Jonathan Feinstein, who will discuss his new book Creativity in Large-Scale Contexts. Professor Feinstein will highlight how creativity emerges out of engagement with creative fields, opportunities, personal experiences, and challenges, drawing insights from examples like Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, and Virginia Woolf. Discover practical strategies for nurturing your creative potential and turning ideas into impactful innovations.

Speaker

Jonathan Feinstein
John G. Searle Professor of Economics and Management, Yale School of Management

Jonathan Feinstein is a leading thinker about creativity & innovation. Whereas it is common to focus on the moment of inspiration, he takes a more encompassing approach, showing how creativity and innovation are generated out of a longer unfolding process. Professor Feinstein’s new book is Creativity in Large-Scale Contexts. He is also the author of The Nature of Creative Development. He earned his university degree from Stanford and his Ph.D. from MIT. His Yale creativity & innovation class has been a favorite with students over the years and has been featured in Business Week and Fast Company. He is committed to nurturing creativity in all its forms by all people. Everyone can be creative: it’s about learning how to go about it, developing good practices, and removing obstacles.
