CreativeThinking

Based on talk given by :Giovanni Corazza

Have you ever been in this situation?

Give me a creative idea …..Something Different !

?YOU

BOSS :

Seems quite an

easy task

but is actually

Very Difficult !

Solution?

WHYThink OUT of

the BOX

Safe and familiar with the surroundings, agreeable with

others.

WHILE INSIDE

THE BOX

Thinking,Outside the BOX We are vulnerable, risking the reputation we worked so hard for a lifetime.

IS going out of the BOX

OR

Luxury ?

Necessity ?

We all are nodes in the same network , possessing the same information.

Then what is it that makes us DIFFERENT ?

Our dignity depends on what we generate out of this shared common information.

Thus going out of the box becomes a NECESSITY for our dignity as a DIFFERENT

individual.So Creatively Think, OUT of the BOX.

whichBOX

Are weTalking about?

The BOX is the bound bywhat we know and surrounded by

what we have still not thought about.

HOWDo

We goOUT

Of theBOX ?

Divergent ideas add spice and takes us far from the

relevant information.

Convergent ideas are the actual information pieces, things that we are

aware about

Two kinds of IDEAS are known :

We need divergent information to cross the boundary of what we know and what we have still not thought about.

But after crossing the boundary, we find ourselves suspended in a place with no

preset direction. Just like the middle game of chess.

We need to Resist the

Temptation to immediately go back, away from the UNFAMILIAR

space encountered.

Value Long TermThinking.

whatIs the VALUEOf the

New idea

Explored?

Find a MATCH between the NEW ideas and the INITIAL DRIVE or

FOCUS

Or we could help with someone else’s problem with these NEW

IDEAS.

WHENIs it a good

Idea to challengeEverything

Around you?

An environment that punishes

mistakes, would tempt us

to remain IN our OWN

boxes.

An environment that allows the existence of

DIVERGENT thoughts, Would encourage…
