In the current conditions of rapid technological progress and increasing market complexity, this article explores the crucial role of creative thinking in improving innovation-oriented management strategies. While traditional management approaches have focused on efficiency and control, modern organizations increasingly recognize that creativity is the foundation for ensuring innovation, strategic adaptability, and sustainable development. The article synthesizes findings from global academic literature and empirical studies demonstrating how integrating creative thinking into strategic management processes significantly enhances companies’ ability to anticipate change, identify new opportunities, and implement innovative solutions. A conceptual model is proposed, illustrating the sequential integration of creativity at various stages: vision formation, idea generation, strategic alignment, implementation, adaptation, and learning—forming a continuous cycle of organizational development. Special attention is given to analyzing modern tools for supporting creativity in management, including using design thinking, agile methodologies, digital co-creation platforms, and artificial intelligence algorithms to support innovative decision-making. The article also outlines the practical advantages for enterprises, such as increased innovation levels, improved cross-functional interaction, enhanced customer satisfaction, and the development of a culture of experimentation. It presents an analysis of possible scenarios for implementing the proposed model—from successful transformation to potential resistance to change—which allows for a deeper understanding of its potential impact. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the necessity of treating creative thinking as a fundamental element of modern innovation management strategy in the knowledge economy.
