'''Ingenuity''' refers to the [[process]] of applying [[ideas]] to solve [[problems]] or meet [[challenges]]. The [[process]] of figuring out how to cross a mountain stream using a fallen log, build an airplane from a sheet of [[paper]], or start a new company in a foreign [[culture]] all involve the exercising of ingenuity. [[Human]] ingenuity has led to [[technological]] developments through applied [[science]], but can also be seen in the [[development]] of new [[social]] [[organizations]], [[institutions]] and [[relationships]]. Ingenuity involves the most [[complex]] human [[thought]] processes, bringing together our [[thinking]] and [[acting]] both individually and [[collectively]] to take advantage of [[opportunities]] or to overcome problems.

[[Context]] is important because solving a [[problem]] requires that we [[imagine]] a range of possible solutions, assess what is available to us in our context, and then [[proceed]] with some [[course]] of [[action]]. Ingenuity isn't a [[linear]] [[process]] but involves various [[dimensions]] of human [[cognition]], [[intention]], learning and the [[creation]] of novelty. These processes [[interact]] with each other as we try out [[ideas]], fail, learn, [[modify]], and try again.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingenuity]
