Box  Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University

Page 2: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

Have you ever had to do something

that looked easy?  

Page 3: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

Have you ever had to do something

but very difficult to do?  

Page 4: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

It’s because you were in your comfort zone.

Solution?

Page 6: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

Think outside the

Box

Page 7: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

What is the

Box?

Page 8: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

It’s a boundary within our mind. Not the itself  MIND  

Page 9: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

It’s a boundary between what we know..

Page 10: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

It’s a boundary between and what we haven’t thought about.

Page 11: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

Why go

Box? outside the  

Page 12: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

because.... Inside we are safe and cozy

Page 13: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

because.... When we go out, we risk our reputation

Page 14: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

because.... Everybody has the same information more or less…

Page 15: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

because.... What matters is what we make of it.

Page 16: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

How do we think

Box? outside the  

Page 17: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

Go beyond the convergent information  

-the dominant ideas that strike you first

Page 18: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

Evaluate all the divergent information  

-the stuff which sounds irrelevant at first

Page 19: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

Engage in long thinking

-take a look at the bigger picture

Page 20: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

Resist going back into the box

-maybe, there’s some sense to your idea

Page 21: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

Evaluate your idea by itself

-have a keen eye and notice the difference

Page 22: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1

Avoid environments that punish mistakes

-these are places where you cannot think out of the box

Page 23: Prasid Mitra | Jadavpur University | ppt 1
