#SSPCreate
As a follow-up to the last show, I discuss some strategies I have been using more regularly in the last few months to encourage different thinking.
Covered:
- Osborn's Model Reviewed:
1. Orientation: pointing up the problem
2. Preparation: gathering pertinent data
3. Analysis: breaking down the relevant material
4. Ideation: piling up alternatives by way of ideas
5. Incubation: letting up, to invite illumination
6. Synthesis: putting the pieces together
7. Evaluation: judging the resulting ideas
- Set the right conditions: remove deadline pressure if possible, accept and embrace failure
- For Incubation: break routines, find an adventure, do nothing
- For Ideation: read strange things for no reason, list your options, invent problems to solve
