Some task appear to be easy
But are difficult to perform
Your boss asking you to think out of the box and give your innovative ideas and opinion .
Sounds simple!
But you are unable to answer
So now we look forth how to simplify this not so simple task with our journey of why how and when
Why we need to go out of the
box ?
When we are inside the box we are agree to everybody When we go out of the box our years long reputation is at stake so why we need to go out of that safe box
Is it a luxury or a necessity
We all are nodes of information and share same data What maintains our dignity as human beings is
generating creative information from same shared data
so it is a necessity ….
Which box are we talking about
This box is not out of our mind
it is the boundary or wall within our mind between what we know and what we don’t know
Our box or safe zone is the mixture of indirect experiences that we have learnt in school and universities and direct experiences which we have gathered from our own success and failure
How to think out of the box
do we need to wait for an apple to fall
When we have a task or a focus area we combine the convergent and divergent thought to generate the
creative idea ..
Convergent information are the specifications and basic information related to the focus area which we have always known or the information which has always existed
Divergent information is the creative thought or idea which is out of the box
When we are thinking out of the box we are in a dark place suspended in between something unknown
We don’t have any preset conditions to act accordingly
At this point of time we have the feeling to go back into the safe old box but we have to resist this feeling
Came out of the box
Generating creative ideas require Long thinking
We need to go far
We do not have to focus on each note of the song but have to feel the whole symbolism and aura of the song
When we are on a journey out of the box- association and combination of ideas
Extraction from the known information. We need to be open minded We need to be fluent
When we are creative no single answer is correct We need to look for the alternatives
Assessment of our creative idea
when we are out of the box we are in a completely unknown territory
so how do we judge ?
Avoid pre assessment
this is the mechanism to kill our new idea
We don’t think ourselves entitled to be the creator and pre assess ourselves
to be wrong
We need to look at the match between our new or the creative idea and convergent information that is the information inside the box that has always existed of focus area
Should we challenge the environment by going out of the box
what if the environment punishes us
If it punishes we will not go out of the box
So we need to stimulate the environment to be creative by allowing flow of divergent information and metaphors in the work place or the organisation
A blink of a eye phenomenon or less than that
Generation of a creative idea out of the box takes place within few seconds
Understanding the concept by an example- We try to make the TEDx talk creative results of thinking out of the box - • talk can be held in stadium may be during half time of a football match• Brilliant speakers replaced by normal speaker with script WILL THESE IDEAS WORK? ASSESS
