Bahria Uni workshop: Cardiology moot
Islamabad, Dec 03, 2007
WORKSHOP AT BAHRIA UNIVERSITY
Speakers at a workshop organised by Bahria University
emphasised the importance of creativity and out-of-the-box approach to have a
competitive edge over others.
The discussion at the workshop titled
'Critical thinking: A basic tool of a manager' organised by the Creativity
Bench, revolved around how such approach opens up new opportunities and help
achieve organisational goals more effectively.
Tehreem Atif of the Human
Resource Department, Ufone, conducted the workshop. To involve the young
audience into the discussion, Tehreem started off with pouring water in a glass
and then stuffing it with tissues and tea bags in order to prove her point that
the human brain functions in quite a similar way. "It is capable of retaining a
lot of information but for that it requires wider perspective and an open mind,"
she said.
Tehreem said that everyone was creative in his or her own way.
"Every human being is created different from the other and therefore they have
their own individual abilities and talents that draw their creative
distinctions," she added.
Elaborating these distinctions further, she
said that the left-brain and the right-brain people had different thinking
abilities. "Right-brain people are more inclined towards the creative side,
think out-of-the-box, challenge the norms and explore new opportunities whereas
left-brain people think more logically, follow the traditional path and are
hesitant to explore new horizons," she pointed out.
She concluded the
workshop with a small competition to inculcate in the participants, the ability
to practically think out-of-the-box and be able to contribute to society. Each
group was given a unique item and assigned the task of coming up with its
different uses.
Concluding the session, Assistant Professor Noreen Saher
said that conscious analysis of information and situation for right judgment was
not only essential for professional excellence but was the basic rule to
maintain better social relationship and systems.
She said that research
behaviour and analysing information were the basic pre-requisites to be a
Muslim. "Hence conscious and rational analysis is very important for being a
good person, professional and virtuous Muslim," she said. Later, Adeela Binte
Abbas, director of the Quality Management Creativity Bench, thanked the guest
speaker for an interactive and informative session.
