Editor's Notes
You want to create and innovate… it is all about idea generation. There are processes & practices that will shift your ideas, generate insights & apply them in novel & refreshing ways.
You can think about creating it, you can daydream and ponder… it’s all good. What makes the difference is taking this to the next level and the next and the next. This involves using the tools, processes & practices for the purpose.
Conduct an appreciative inquiry into other creative thinkers. What if I was collaborating with Einstein? Become a profiler… be curious about what makes that particular creative person exceptional.
Play with different perspectives… have fun with it… yes there is the creator’s perspective, the customer, client, different types of clients. What if I was discussing my idea with the Queen? A Child? Somebody who really wants to reward me?
Logical thinking, critical thinking, rational thinking, linear thinking … it’s all good to a point. Now bring together all your resources in a creative and collaborative way. What about non-linear thinking… think in terms of essence, experience, energy, flow… multidimensional & symbolic thinking is the key. Play with metaphors for example.
Keep on keeping on. Do what you do best… and do a whole lot of it. As long as ideas are flowing… good ideas will flow and grow. Do anything… divergent thinking & connections… make those connections, enter deeper and deeper into the MATRIX. Networking is networthing.
Break those rules… you made rules too as to what is possible and what is not… you make assumptions about what is viable and what is not. What role does socialization and conditioning play in the choices you make and in the way you perceive problems, solutions and the like. Let your own perception be guided by your gut instinct. Shift your guidance system to the inside… creation is an inside and an insight job!
Quotes are great sources of inspiration and empowerment. They embrace both sides of a story and even better… showing humor, paradox and non-judgemental perspectives.
Play and experiment. Yes there are processes that are repetitive, you might think you are making the same mistake over and over again. Mistake is a judgment… to grow, you need to grow past this perception. Notice how this time it really is different and it’s all a learning opportunity.
Look through fresh eyes, through believing eyes and through the eyes of possibility. Throw in other factors, perspectives and watch the familiar change before your eyes. Yes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder… so to is novelty!
