Inspirational Intuition: Unlocking Creative Insight

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: • Introduces "Inspirational Intuition" as a multidimensional instrument integrating perception and imagination. • Defines four key dimensions: Self-Confident Acting, Creative Silence, Emotional Awareness, Visionary Openness. • Proposes System 3 hypothesis as an extension of dual-process cognitive theory. • Connects intuitive competencies to leadership, innovation, and organizational culture in HRD. Creative insight is critical to adaptive leadership and innovation in increasingly complex environments. This article introduces Inspirational Intuition as a conceptual framework that integrates intuitive perception and knowledge imagination. Drawing on creativity theory, unconscious cognition, and leadership research, the article outlines four foundational dimensions: Self-Confident Acting, Creative Silence, Emotional Awareness, and Visionary Openness. These form the basis of the IKII-10, a reflective inventory designed for conceptual engagement with intuitive Human Resource Development (HRD) competencies. Rather than an empirical tool, the IKII-10 serves as a scaffold for further theory building, supporting a more holistic understanding of learning, leadership, and organisational development in the face of uncertainty.
