Creative Thinking Guidelines

Defer Judgment. This doesn’t mean eliminating judgment, just waiting until the appropriate time. Give ideas a chance.

Build on ideas. Create more ideas by adding slight twists and variations.

Seek wild ideas. It’s easier to tame a wild idea than to navigate a dull one.

Go for quantity. Stretch; set a target of 30 questions, ideas – whatever you’re working on. Then go for more.

Use these guidelines as you make your lists.

Critical Thinking Guidelines

Define success. Establish the criteria against which to measure your ideas.

Unpack ideas. Analyse them to understand their principles, themes and implications.

Evaluate, measure your ideas against the success criteria you have chosen.

Judge generatively. Avoid binary (yes/no) evaluation. Look for ways to improve your ideas as you evaluate them.

Use these guidelines as you make your choices.
