Abstract
There is a growing awareness of the significance of collective creativity in
dealing with the complex problems typical of today’s rapidly changing society.
Whereas studies on collective creativity provide insight into what happens
during creative episodes in terms of a changing meaning of the interaction
content, they do not explain what happens in the conversational interaction
process. To shed light on this, we introduce and define the concept of
interaction flow. Interaction flow was observed during creative episodes in
the board meetings of Platform Inspire, an innovation-oriented collaborative
governance board in Western Europe. The concept of interaction flow
makes collective creative episodes more observable and offers points of
attention for facilitating these episodes.
