                              About the Talk
                              ==============

Are you in a rut?  Tired of doing the same old thing?  Tired of
travelling the same old path that stifles you?  Tired of having mental 
blocks when you need to solve a problem?  Well... lets vacuum those 
cobwebs and get the creativity and fun back into your research and 
development work.

Sonia Bot and Alan Frank are offering observations on creative processes
and their application to the real world of software product design and 
development, primarily emphasising Human Computer Interaction.  

Sonia will present issues on misconceptions about creativity, blocks
to creativity, and developing a creative attitude.  Alan, who recently 
attended the "Creative Leadership Seminar" at Disney University, Orlando
Florida, will present the creative processes used throughout the Disney 
organization and how they successfully and consistently manage these
processes.

This presentation will certainly stimulate your creative instincts...
So bring your Mickey Mouse souvenirs and fairy dust, and join us to
explore the magic world of creativity...
