Abstract
Understood as a skill, and present at different levels in the human being, creativity can be developed spontaneously and not spontaneously. Spontaneously from the interaction between endogenous and exogenous factors. And already in its induced form, through creative techniques that aim to generate ideas to solve problems through the systematization of the creative process. The article aims to point out elements to the development of a creativity technique. To accomplish this goal, a literature review was carried out. After the analysis of the articles and with the use of affinity diagrams, fourteen elements were obtained that should be considered in the elaboration of a creativity technique. The elements identified were: time, colors, multidisciplinarity, collaborative work, playfulness, creative profiles, positive humor, intrinsic motivation, convergent and divergent thinking, incubation, nonverbal language, qualification of ideas, intergroup competition and size of groups. For future research, it is recommended the construction of controlled experiments to measure and understand the influence of each factor, indicated in this article, to stimulate non-spontaneous creativity.
