The 6 Fluency Theories

SOLUTION FLUENCY

This is about whole-brain thinking—creativity and problem solving applied on-demand.

Solution Fluency talks about how a person is able to solve real-time problems by clearly defining the problem, designing probable solutions, testing them and evaluating the applied solution based on its outcome.

INFORMATION FLUENCY

Information Fluency describes how one is able to extract, understand and analyze any given information regardless of format in order to gather the necessary or important facts needed to essentially process the information given and turn it into knowledge or even wisdom.

CREATIVITY FLUENCY

Creativity Fluency is the process by which artistic proficiency adds meaning through design, art, and storytelling. It is about using innovative design to add value to the function of a product though its form.

MEDIA FLUENCY

There are two components of Media Fluency.  Firstly, the ability to look analytically at any communication to interpret the real message, and evaluate the efficacy of the chosen medium. Secondly, to create original communications by aligning the message and audience though the most appropriate and effective medium.

COLLABORATION FLUENCY

Collaboration Fluency is team working proficiency that has reached the unconscious ability to work cooperatively with virtual and real partners in an online environment to solve problems and create original products.
