Why Creativity?

Pursue any article regarding the most desired skills for the future and you will find that creativity consistently ranks within the top five skills.  Several authors may refer to aspects such as problem-solving or innovative thinking, however, these are derivates from the much superior creativity umbrella.  Many large companies prefer to employ people above machines in certain areas of their factories as humans can propose improvement ideas that signify the need for creative solutions to unique challenges.
