Creativity and added value – why ideas don’t always have to be useful

Interesting perspective in this article. The idea that creativity does not always need immediate practical value is refreshing, because many innovative concepts begin simply as experiments or playful exploration before they eventually evolve into something useful. In creative work, early ideas often act as inspiration, discussion starters, or stepping-stones that later lead to more refined solutions. Research on creativity also suggests that generating diverse or even unconventional ideas can stimulate new thinking and eventually contribute to meaningful innovation.
