3 C’s of Ignoring Skills, Abilities and Creative Ideas-Preparing for Future and Catching the Opportunities

Abstract

Creativity and innovation are integral to the advancement of societies. They foster economic growth, enhance social well-being, and contribute to cultural richness. However, many nations and communities often overlook or suppress new ideas and creative skills. The ability of a nation or society to generate and implement creative ideas and skills is crucial for progress, adaptation, and problem-solving. Conversely, ignoring creative ideas and skills can lead to stagnation, missed opportunities, and societal decline.
This paper explores the multifaceted implications of neglecting creativity and innovation within a society. It examines the underlying causes of such neglect, the associated costs, and the broader consequences for economic growth, social cohesion, and cultural development. By analyzing historical precedents and contemporary examples, this research underscores the importance of fostering cultures and societies that value creative thinking and the development of new skills.
